On the Home screen, tap the Menu key and select Settings
→
Accounts &
Sync.
➋
At the bottom of the screen, tap “Add account.”
➌
On the screen that appears, tap Google.
➍
Follow the directions onscreen for adding an account.
If you already have
an account, tap “Sign in” when you get to the right screen. If you don’t
have an account, tap Create.
NOTE
When you sign into your Google account, your rooted NOOK syncs up with your Google
information. So, for example, all your Google contacts are automatically added to your rooted NOOK,
the calendar on your rooted NOOK syncs with your Google calendar, and so on.
You end up back on the screen where you first set up your Google account. At
this point, you have access to your various Google services, such as Gmail and
Google Calendar. Another thing that happens when you add a Google account:
The Android Market is installed on your rooted NOOK. If you’re using a NOOK
Tablet, you’re ready to use the market. But if you’re using a NOOK Color don’t
try the Android Market yet; you’re not quite out of the woods. There are a few
more steps you need to take:
➊
On the Home screen, tap the Manage Apps icon.
➋
On the top of the screen, tap the All tab. You see a list of the apps on your
tablet.
➌
Scroll down until you see Google Services Framework. Tap it.
➍
On the screen that appears, tap “Clear data,” and then tap OK.
➎
Tap the Back button at the bottom of the screen.
You come to the list of
apps again.
➏
Scroll down to the Market icon and tap it.
On the screen that appears, tap
“Clear data,” and then tap OK, exactly as you did before.
➐
Hold down the NOOK’s power button and select reboot from the screen
that appears.
Make sure you don’t remove the microSD card.
The NOOK reboots back into Android, and you can then use the Market to
download apps. Tap the Market icon on the Home screen.
