[Q] Rooting my Nook HD Plus

[dwwartist]

I often get a message on Google Play Store "your device isn't compatible with this version". If I root my Nook HD + will I be able to install those apps? Any help with his question would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

After I rooted my nook hd+ I was able to install a lot of the apps that I could not before. There were still some that I couldn't but the majority of them I was able too.

Thanks for the reply. I did root my Nook HD + but still get the same reply "not compatible" the apps I want are Bank of America and Wells Fargo. It's looking like I'll have to do without.

On another note, I also tried CyanogenMod 10.1 at one point and those apps did install but I found CyanogenMod 10.1 to be to unstable and went back to stock. Guess I will have to stay with plain old Nook HD + Stock.

You can try sideloading the apps that works in a lot of cases where the app says it is not compatible.

I would definitely sideload them, just not sure how to get the apps downloaded to my pc or tablet so I can sideload them. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I don't know how others do it but what I do is download the app I want to my phone and then use Titanium backup to make a copy. Then depending on size I either email it to myself or transfer it to a PC and then to the Nook.

I GOT IT! Thanks for the info...

I used a slightly different method, I downloaded "APK Fetcher" from google play to my non rooted android phone. It copied the apps that I had wanted and that were already installed on my phone. It placed them on my phones SD card and then I transferred them to my pc. I transferred them to my rooted/with extras Nook HD Plus. Then simply installed them. They work perfectly!

Thanks for everyone's help and many thanks to XDA.

Rooting my Nook HD Plus

I am able to download some apps that were not compatible previously by sideloading them. This is my first post, you can find instructions for sideloading in numerous threads that have way more expierence than I do.
