So I'm still on stock HD and I've already rooted and installed gaps etc. But there are a couple of apks I would like to install that can't be obtained by the play store. I can download them but everytime I try to install them I am told the install is blocked because the apk wasn't obtained from the nook store. Anybody get around this yet?

You are trying to install with the Nook apps, like the browser and my files. Those are still blocked. You must install using a third party file manager like the one I put on the Universal Root. Or download one from Play Store.

I tried using the file manager included in your extras zip as well as astro but everytime I select an apk file it pops up saying it's blocked.

You may need to flash my unknown sources zip. That was in the gapps zip, but maybe you flashed it too early in the process. You need to have registered for that mod to work. Anyway do it again.
