Best apps for NST

[mantion]

After playing around with my rooted nook for quite a while and testing different launchers, apps, etc. I though about making a list of the best apps to have for the NST.

This is a non-exhaustive list and I will continue to update it as I also want the community's suggestions.

Would you mind posting the apk for this? I have the 1.6.4 version on my phone, but it does not work on NST and this older version is not longer available (other than from some suspicious looking websites...)

THANKS!

LINE works. You should also have FastMode2.apk on this list ASAP, which allows the capable use of games like the JRPG Symphony of Eternity, Cut the Rope, ZDefense, and more.

Crossword Games

I like the game "Classic Words Free" that runs well on the nook.

I've been looking for a crossword puzzle game that loads .PUZ files but none on the app store will run on the nook. Any suggestions?

Mango doesn't work anymore, does it? Everytime I open it, it always displays message "couldn't connect to the internet"

Do you still have a working apk for F-Droid on the Nook? All the one's I can find are for Android 2.2 and above.

Thanks a ton, for some reason I couldn't get the links to work, it 404'd.

Out of curiousity, what rom are you running? (Don't see a bunch of users on this area.)
