I was able to install astro file manager via apk. I had to allow outside sites. I usd the package manager when prompted and open after install. I was able to see the system files but i tried to copy them to my sd card with no luck. This does not create a link on the shelf and i dont know how to launch it unless i reinstall from the downloads in the browser. I also attempted other apk some worked others did not. Not sure if this helps anyone I m not a developer just fooling around at Mc donalds playing with my new nook tablet. Maybe this info is already out their if so im sorry.

Have you tried rebooting after installing to see if icons appear?

Download the apk with your browser, then click on the notification in the bottom left, and install with package installer when it'd downloaded.
Get go launcher apk here:

Yeah, I had done that.. I guess it just didn't like the file.. it was an attachment from here.
Thanks for the go launcher link.
Got the Google account info in via Youtube apk. Access to G+ works fine. Working on market now.

Market keeps force closing though the 2.3.6 market will stay open for a bit. In a twist of irony, the Amazon App store works perfect. Likely no more updates from me tonight.
Summary, download Go Launcher apk and install using Package Installer. Get a File management program, then go to town.

Is there anyway to get back to the page with "Install from unknown sources" again? I can't find a way of getting there through the settings, and I'm curious if it's even accessible otherwise.
I couldn't find a way. I hacked one of my test apps to launch it. Download the tgps_launcher, and hit "start".

I just found that double tapping the N button in Angry Birds will let you chose which launcher to use.
Now I can use ADW on this thing.

13Can you write step-by-step guide for us total noobs, please?
Open the following page in your web browser:
http://61.145.124.93/soft/3GHeart/golauncher/v2.65/GO_Launcher_EX_V2.65.apk
When it has finished downloading it will ask you how you want to handle the file --- Click the second option.
Bam! Go Launcher is installed. But, it will seem like it is not always there. The easiest way I have found (and thanks to someone on this forum) is just to do a serch for "Launcher" and the results should list "Go Launcher". Click that and you are back into Go Launcher.
Now to get a file manager installed.
I prefer "ES File Manager", but if you want something else, just find the APK and you should be golden.

Once again, When it has finished downloading it will ask you how you want to handle the file --- Click the second option.
Now you can go through your entire NT directories and install APKs (note that not all of them will work. I would install MX Player, YouTube, browser of choice)
If you want the Amazon AppStore (and I would recommend that you do)
https://www.amazon.com/appstorelanding
I am sure there are some other bits of information floating out there, but this should at least get you started.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for helping me out in some way!4

I uploaded the google apps to a web server broken out of the rar.
because no one likes megauploadvideodownloadtime.com
Point your tablet to the short url, and have fun!
I also added some goodies:
Spotify
Go Launcher
MxPlayer
Amazon Market
So no one has to hunt, I have tested and installed Spotify, Golauncher, mxPlayer, the amazon market, google voice, and the Amazon Video client(Ha!)
When installing a google app, install the Google framework first.
Installing Google reader works, but i can't login. It tires to associate my phone with a google account, and fails after i try and login. There seems to be a critical dependency missing there.
Installing Youtube works, but i also can't login. Same problem as above, but at least i can still play videos.4

That's a side effect of grabbing it as an attachment from the forum.
Grab it using your computer and then copy it over and install it using something like es file explorer, etc.

Here's a mediafire link -
http://www.mediafire.com/?oeo8rmeh8zq5hbt1you'll need a launcher to be able to see your apps. The nook hasn't shown the BN installed apps and the user installed apps in the same place since 1.1.
Very interesting if Zeam or Go are installable. My memory is that the old BN app installer would not install non-BN apps.
