A couple of weeks ago, we brought you news that the
Nook HD and Nook HD+ had gotten permanent root. This is of course great news, as the
Nook HD and HD+ run their own Android-based OS, and were in serious need of some more traditional Android goodness. Now, there is a new method for root, along with installing the Google Apps that will make the device much more usable.

someone0 posted a pretty long tutorial that takes Nook HD and HD+ owners through the entire root and modification process. Included is a link to three guides. The first is a root guide, the second is a Google Apps guide, and the third is a
tips thread by XDA Senior Member

This guide can be immensely helpful to those who want their Nook HD or HD+ rooted and running Google Apps. Plus, Play Store access is always nice. In short, having these extra tools can make these tablets infinitely more useful to those who enjoy using Google’s products.
