I'm trying to avoid flashing a new Rom because really I'm happy with how the current one functions.

Unfortunately there are some drawbacks - I seem to be missing the normal buttons you would get on an android phone. This limits the functionality of some apps that require a menu button. There is a small panel with a back and search button, but never a menu. Is there a way to modify it so it does?

On my Nook STG I installed Button Savior but that requires root. From what I gather, rooting the stock ROM could force the Nook to reset itself so I'm wary of that. I do really want to be able to install the Humble Bundle games though, which requires the ability to install non market apps(is there a backdoor for this?).
