For all the newbs out there: quit nagging the devs so they can work on the spoonfed version. It takes two hands to write code (or one to type and one to hold the redbull). Thanks.

Ran it terminalCan ppl adb shell into their Nook HD/HD+ and then issue this command. Root is required whether by my or very green method. (Well, I don't think this will require root, but working busybox)
/data/su/busybox md5sum /system/framework/framework-res.apk
then tell us the md5 number you got along with what nook and its version. Eg: mine is below.
5956623299fe6f666c700956c7ebd0cd HD+ 32GB 2.0.0
We are having a bit of problem theming the Nook to fix the white-on-white problem. This maybe is just a scrap, and maybe we can't do anything about it either.
leapinlar, is your MD5 match their? It seem HD and HD+ maybe using the same framework, but 2.0.0 are differ from 2.0.2 = 2.0.4.

Did you try to launch it from a new launcher?
Doesn't "adb exit" work?
Can't try another launcher 'cause can't install anything.Did you try to launch it from a new launcher?
Also you could try to see if it's in the extras apps menu by opening the "APPS" menu and then holding vol+ and then pressing and holding your finger over the "APPS(#)" bar for about 2~3 seconds.
If done correctly the screen will flash and an "extras" screen will appear with all(or almost all) the apps that are installed.
OK, been cruising along, downloading from PLAY etc. no problem. Decide to download the SWYPE beta, start to install and get "For security, you NOOK is set to block installation of applications not obtained from teh NOOK App Store". I rechecked the 'setting.db' file, and that still has secure/install_non_market_apps set to 1. I tried moving the file to the ext_sdcard directory just in case it was location linked and still no go. Is there another place to allow file installation like this? Or do I need to sideload?
I guess, I have to update my script to include that as well. I start to wonder if that's a good thing, maybe it try to install to /system and it lock that for good reason, can you see if you can reboot install the keyboard?In the devicemanager.db (same place you change fota mode to manual) look at line 28 install_unknown_source_app. Try changing that from false to true.

While it's true that we should put heavy emphasis on not touching /system and that is not just manual works, but also any app with root access. You could be installing something like busybox via goole play store and screw everything up. That said, we are not touching /system at the moment because we lack the knowledge of that the nook is doing during boot process. I have been able to get asomething like AdAway to work which actually creating a sym link from /system/etc/hosts to /data/data/hosts file. I been doing this under the assumption that mounting and sym link are ok in the /system. But I would be worried too if there is a lot of those.
I'm not even sure if that is a good idea, many android devices have /mnt/sdcard mount for internal flash. And since we don't exactly have a full control of this yet, do you know does it work with MTP? What happend if you make these changes, and connect it to a PC for files transfer?
If you read my description above, it says to update the driver for BNTV600.I tried following the instructions on the B&N’s website, but I do not see ‘Android Composite ADB Interface’ or even ‘Android Phone’ within the Device Manager of Windows. I now have ‘BNTV600’ and ‘NOOK’ under Device Manager/Portable Devices. I think this is for the big leagues and I may mess something up. Probably going to wait until there is a YouTube video guide showing step by step on how to successfully root the Nook HD+.
Many thanks to ‘leapinlar’ for the help.
