Has anyone used Titanum backup to remove the Nook Apps,(Facebook, Twitter...etc)?

Just wondering if it was safe to remove the nook apps and replace them with the google play editions? I know you can hide the apps, but I want to remove them because otherwise I get conflicts when updating apps.

Not unless you install my Universal Root rev3 from my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. B&N has a scheme where if you remove or change any files in /system it will reset itself on the next boot. My universal root rev3 removes that protection scheme. Then I don't know whether it will function with those apps removed or disabled.

Yes it is fully rooted with your tools. I guess I could try it and then worse case do a factory restore. Also would you know if the Xposed framework would work on the Nook?

I don't know anything about Xposed. Maybe someone else does.

The xposed framework itself will install only if you have done the ultimate and hassle-free root for stock ROMs by verygreen. Otherwise your tablet will reset as it is modifying a file on /system. Regarding the modules, most of them will not work on ROMs vastly modified like our stock ROMs. So I recommend you not to try it.
And yes, it is safe to remove the bloat from the stock ROMs using titanium backup.
