I have scoured the internet to find the stock NookColor launcher apk file, but to no avail, as it does not seem to be on the internet. Can anybody point me in the right direction to find this file?

I have not seen the launcher as a separate apk, but you can download the whole stock 1.4.3 zip and extract whatever files you want. You can get the zip by going to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and looking at item A15.

Acer Day Planner

Is there a way to get the Acer Day Planner app, which comes in the A100?
My guess download the .apk from system dump and modify .build prop THOUGH I could be completely wrong..
So download system dump, or a100 rom if acceptable then take the desired .apk out if it doesn't work right off the bat which im assuming it won't you will need to edit the .build prop ...
Hope this helps hit the thanks if it does!
Devices/Rom - Acer a500 Civs Mix, HTC Inspire RCMIX 4, & Nook Color CM7
Thanks, I'm gonna look for a A100 rom...
EDIT: I've tried it and it didn't work on the A500... unfortunately. As you said... Who knows if Acer release a "10.1" version of this nice app...
Did you try it and what happens?

After installed, the app loads in portrait mode, because of the A100 specs, I think... no problem about that, but... when I touched on "Start" to configure it, then I got force close everytime I tried it.
It didn't work absolutely.
I don't know what to do with it dry bud..

The app has dependencies. Namley the email and calendar apps. So chances are those and who knows what else needs to go into it. I have to agree its probably the best planner app out there. Would be nice to get an effort to port it. If we find all the parts for it chances are it should be doable. Might explain the force closes. I could be way off as I am in the process of trying. But if it works it should just be as simple as having a set of apps to copy to whatever device (ideally I'd like it to work on my phone too but that might be asking too much lol)
Look in my flexreaper thread, extra system apps, there is a flashable zip with Acer planer that I fixed so it works on A500.

Is the app supposed to change orientation as the Tab is moved? Or is it locked to Portrait mode?

It's locked in portrait. It from the A100 so I guess that is the way it is.

You need to flash the zip with custom cwm (recovery)
Or you need to put it in system/app but for that you need also root acces.

[Q] Need help getting Google Play Store

I am using a Honeycomb Image from here for my Nook Color and can't find a way to get the Play Store as it didn't come with it and there is no file manager to install from the sdcard. Has anyone else used this or know of a better one for the Nook Color that will allow me access to the Play Store as I am wanting to install Unity Remote so I can use the device with Unity 3D. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you email it you should be able to run it from the email attachment / download menu. But I would say try some of the jellybean builds. They're much more complete and they run much smoother, the HC builds were built from the sdk and never got to a point of great stability.

Play Store gets installed as part of a gapps package, not as a stand alone app. Try one of the gapps-hdpi or gb or ics versions at goo.im. Flash that with your CWM.

Thanks for helping. I was trying the Honeycomb build since I was able to run it from the sd card but I also tried the one from CyanogenMod which has 2.3.5 that is listed as the last stable version for Nook Color and that anything later isn't stable from their mods. Is there a jellybean build you recommend that is stable? And how do I install the gapps as I couldn't find any documentation on the goo site. Also I was unable to add my e-mail with CyanogenMod 7.2 as it wasn't able to communicate with the server and I was connected to Wifi.

You really should get rid of that honeycomb. It is way put of date and was never very good. Go to my NC updated SD installation thread linked in my signature. Everything you need is there. I recommend the latest CM10 nightly linked there. It is a nightly, but very stable (certainly more stable than that honeycomb). And the link for the gapps that matches is linked on my thread too.

Nook App

Hello - I rooted and installed CM on my nook. I tried to download the Nook App from the Playstore, it says the app isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas?

Easiest way I found was going here - http://mobile.brothersoft.com/nook-79949.html - to download the latest apk, and sideloading it on the Nook. You may find that some magazines will no longer work in the Nook app though, nothing you can do about that (I had to use Google Play Magazines instead).

No, look in verygreen's threads, he has said it is B&N blacklisting the nook app for ovation and hummingbird devices. So you can change your build.prop file or sideload it.

Its not an incompatibility issue, Edit your build.prop its easy to do, there is a description on here (XDA) somewhere if you search for it, on how to do it.

[Q] Need help installing play store and other things on rooted NC 1.4.3

Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get clear instructions on how to do it.
I rooted my NC last night. It is version 1.4.3 and I used the below method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494901
I installed this manual nooter: manualnooter-5.08.20.apps2sd.block_updates.zip
and also this kernel: Dalingrin OC kernel
So right now it is rooted - I just can't seem to get the play store market. The market that I see is very limited. Can someone please provide me detailed instructions on how to put on the play store?
Also - are there any other launchers that I can use/are recommended? Currently using the Zeam Launcher.
I want to be able to install games and play videos for my son - and I also want to be able to use things like Hulu and Netflix. Are there any other add ons that anyone recommends?
I am very good at following the instructions, just need them described in a way that I can understand as I am not that techy!
Thank you in advance!!
Market should update itself to Play Store as you use it. But that will not necessarily help with getting rid of the limitations. You may have to get your apps from other stores like Amazon.com or 1mobile.com.
I like ADW for my launcher.

What do you mean it will update itself? For example I searched for Candy Crush (yes, i know HAHA), and it doesn't find it? :/

read my edit above. Play Store is just a newer version of market.
Edit: Market/Play Store is sometimes very picky about what it will show as compatible with your device. Your options are to use other stores or install the app you have downloaded from another device.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
Ok - thanks.
I also read somewhere that I should install gapps?
For the ADW launcher - can I find that on the market?

Gapps are included in manual nooter, you do not want to install again.
Yes, you should find ADW in the market.

Awesome - I will tinker more with it tonight TY for your help!
Another question, since you have been so helpful :
With the way that I rooted the nook, what version do I have? (Gingerbread, ICS, Honeycomb)
I assume knowing which version I have will help in terms of what apps will work on it and be compatible.
Thank you

Hi Leapinlar,
So I successfully got the play store working and some other things. Running Go Launcher as the launcher.
I was wondering, how do I go about making it a little faster? I notice that it lags quite a bit. I downloaded Nook tweaks, but have no idea on what to change on there. I have also been reading posts about Cyanogenmod 7 or Cyanogenmod 10 but don't know if that will make a difference. I do have most of the apps saved on the SD card as to not take space and memory. I also have clean sweeper installed to kill tasks.
Any advice? Thanks.

If you want the most stability and speed, install CM7.2 stable.
Follow this guide to replace your stock.

The post above you has a fix in his signature that is this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75 give that a try.
You won't be able to install TWRP until you install a 2nd bootloader. Once you do that, you flash the ROM from there.
