I have installed the extras zip and was able to install amazon app store. I still cannot sideload many apps and get the 'there is a problem parsing the package' message. Basically, I downloaded the apk and used package installer and got this message.

Thanks for your help

Do you think rooting the tablet will help you?

Flashing to allow unknown sources via the image disk worked great for me. Adobe Flash and all my other non market installed apps working great. I did not root.

Edit:
Changed post from permissions to unknown sources.

Can you please elaborate on "Flashing permissions via the image disk". Which file to flash? Can you please link to the thread that has this file.

Thanks!

It is not a file to flash, his terminology is a little off. He means going to CWM and the advanced menu and choose 'fix permissions'.

I tried 'fix permissions' but no success. I am trying to install widely used apps from travel sites like Orbitz and Travelocity which are installed on my samsung 7+ tab running ICS. It must have something to do with stock as they were installed on CM 10 on nook hd+. While I prefer stock due to the excellent sleep option and battery life, I may have to go back to CM 10.

It probably is a terminology issue, but what I did was:

1. Create the image with a micro sd.
2. Drap the Rev3 zip to the sd
3. Shut off the Nook
4. Insert the sd into the Nook and then turned it on
5. Went to the option to flash via the sd card with volume and pressed home key
6. Chose the Rev3 zip and pressed home. The files installed,
7. Removed the sd
8. Restarted..... Hung on the Nook screen for ten minutes, so held power to turn off
9. Restarted
10. Was able to side load all of my apps that needed it after that. I started with Adobe Flash which works GREAT with Dolphin, Opera and Xscope (had to side load Xscope, since could not install via market).

I do not recall flagging permissions in the image menu. I thought the flash process did all that, which it apparently did for me.

Side loaded Flash, Oid emulators, aFBA, Xscope and some market games as well that could be saved with an unrooted back-up app.

His terminology was mixed up. He did not mean "fix permissions" either. He meant flashing the Extras zip, which enables unknown sources, not "flash permissions". But you had already done that.

So I don't know how to fix your problem.

Yep, to me getting unknown sources working is a permission, but wrong in the true Android terminology.

Regardless, being able to install by side loading and the 2.1 update make this one of the best tablets. Actually, it seems a direct equal to the Excite 7.7 which IMO is the best current overall tablet. Better in some regards. The display and power efficiency in sleep mode is a big part of the departuresweight for the HD+.

Leapinlar- you have been wonderful with your work on this tablet . Your note made me realize that may be there is something wrong with the apk files I had copied from my other tablet. After spending many hours searching on google for sites that were not merely links to google play, I downloaded the apk files I needed. All of them installed perfectly !

Thanks once again to you,verygreen and bokbokan for making nook tablet the best tablet out there.
kind regards

Hello, I followed your tutorial to the exact letter and all I got was my nook restarting several times before finally wiping itself and having to do the whole set up process again. I formatted the card and set the card to active like instructed. But which rar do I need? I am running the nook hd with 2.1.0. Software. I tried all the nook hd bootfiles rars listed and added the zip I wanted to install and it keeps rebooting and wiping.

Thanks

You need the one that says NookHD, CWM and BOOTFILES and ends in rar. You must extract the 5 files there to the SD. Be sure to copy the one named MLO first.
