[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sarcasym:
I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:

"Problem loading widget"

None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?

On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.

Thanks in advance.

***edit***

I reinstalled the launcher but didn't set it to the default and that appeared to have worked but once i set it to default the problem started again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
That sounds more like a problem with version of Go Launcher... Try a 2.5x version and see.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sarcasym:
Thanks for the suggestion. I downgraded to 2.53 and so far so good.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
I was having the same problem. I downgraded to version 2.63 and my widgets now work fine.

2.53 was missing some features i liked in v2.6x

Edit. Nvm 2.63 is failing too now....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] itsmee22:
It's not Go Launcher. I have the same problem with Launcher Pro and ADW.

It's got something to do with the Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
Version 2.66 just cameout, alot of widget fixes in it. Might be worth updating to it and testing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theundeadelvis:
I just installed the update and now my widgets are there after a reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sarcasym:
Im usin 2.66 now with no problems. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
I updated to 2.66 but widgets are still screwed up after a reboot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agentx3r:
Same here. Seems that this is a problem if you make go launcher your default launcher (using homecatcher).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Thanks, uninstalling homecatcher fixed the problem. Widget issues have been driving me nuts.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
I had the widgets not loading issue until I applied the 160dpi fixes listed in the GApps thread here.

This was the only change I made to my system, and right after it no widget problem, so I'm guessing it was the fix.

I'm using GoLauncher 2.66 and Homecatcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
Do location based apps work now also?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
I unsinstalled homecatcher but now the "n" button will only take me to the stock launcher. Go Launcher is set as my default launcher, but it doesn't seem to care.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ffwalrus:
Possible workaround.

So this seems to have worked for me on my Nook Tablet. Using Go Launcher 2.66 and Home Catcher to re-purpose the "n" button. Go Launcher is set as default upon boot, and upon hitting the "n" button. The 160 dpi fix mentioned above didn't work for me, and I was having this issue on all 2.65 and 2.66 of Go Launcher. This workaround seems to have fixed it for me. I got the initial idea from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360036

Using Root Explorer or similar tool move your alternate launcher APK from /data/app to /system/app. Change the permissions to 777 (all 3 rows checked in root explorer). Then restart, and you should be good. I have restarted numerous times now, and had no widget problems.

Step-by-Step Directions:

Open Root Explorer

Browse to /system

Click Mount R/W button

Navigate to /data/app

Long Press launcher APK file (for me it was com.gau/go/launcherex-1.apk)

Choose Move

Navigate to /system/app

Press Paste button

Long Press freshly pasted APK file

Choose Permissions

Check all the top 9 checkboxes (Read, Write, Execute for Owner, Group, Others), leave all others as they are.

Press OK

Navigate to /system

Press Mount R/O button

Restart Nook

Usual at your own risk disclaimer applies.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sugawolf2000:
Thanks ffwalrus! That worked!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Nice! I wonder though if just changing the file permissions in place (in data/app) would achieve the same thing? The thing I'm curious about is how will an update affect the location change.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ffwalrus:
I am really not sure. I think its more about the order they are loaded than the permission settings themselves. I will try with Go Launcher 2.65, and see if I can update to 2.66 and report back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lipps:
Thanks ffwalrus, works great!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Great! Fixed it for me too. Reboot after moving hung 3-4x longer than normal though, so I got worried ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ffwalrus:
Updating System App

So I downgraded my GoLauncher to 2.65 and added it to /system/apps. I then went to the market to update it. It didn't appear in my list of installed apps, but when I went to GoLauncher EX the link said "Update" instead of "Install". It updated as normal, and seemed to work. It left the old 2.65 apk file in /system/apps and it added the new 2.68 apk to the /data/apps. It seemed to work ok, but after a few restarts I had some widgets that would come back, and some that would hang and never appear. Instead of saying "Problem Loading Widget" it said "Loading Widget..."

So I guess I would recommend updating manually going forward. You can still use the Market to do the upgrade, but then you need to move the APK file to /system/apps for the widgets to continue to load.

I have tested this work around on Launcher PRO and ADW Launcher as well. They both started with the same "Problem Loading Widget" issue, and both seem to work after being copied to /system/apps. I've found ADW Launcher is my favorite on the Nook because for me it has a more tablet ready layout.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Thanks for testing this ffwalrus. Also I notice version 2.69 just came out.

I'm curious what makes ADW more tablet friendly? One thing I really like about GoLauncher is that changing the grid size to 8x6 for me makes for a perfect tablet layout. But I haven't messed much with ADW. (I do have it installed since the .10 cent sale).

I still have no idea why, but I've had no widget issues since I did the dpi fix. Tons of reboots since, no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ffwalrus:
ADW was just simpler out of the box. By default it has a tighter grid than GoLauncher. GoLauncher can be setup pretty much the same, but since I've factory reset this thing about 10 times while messing around with it, its nice to not have to setup every little setting. Once Nook development gets a little further, I'm sure I'll re-evaluate. Also, I like to promote free options, but ADW for 10 cents made me have to try it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
I use ADW, but what I miss about Go Launcher was the ability to add multiple apps to the homescreen easily. Just long press, click on Applications and check next to each app you want on the homescreen.

Takes much longer with ADW.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Texx-it:
Works for me thanks a lot!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NTAB:
I'm not sure where the system/app location is. I'm using ES file explorer but I can only see the SD card stuff and the system location is not in there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sigilist:
I was having similar problems after the recent update. All widgets were dead, displaying a problem with loading. I simply deleted them, re-added them, and they worked. HOWEVER...

The "folder" widget still does not work. When I long-press, select "folder" add something... nothing happens... no dialog to choose a folder... nothing.

Haven't got time at the moment to try the long solution suggest, but thought I would share what I did discover that is different than what was suggested herein. I got my basic widget capability (sans "folders") back with less hassle.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
drag 2 apps on top of each to create folder and hold on folder and use edit to add apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NTAB:
Ok, I found it. I didn't realize I hadn't granted Es file explorer SU access, so I did that and mounted the drive for writability and it worked. Now, I dont know where the R/O button is before rebooting the NT...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] automat64:
just uncheck the "Mount File System" option
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nicholskin:
This fixed the widgets on both mine and my wife's NT.

Thanks!

I used ES File Explorer. Open Settings > Root settings and check both boxes to enable changes to system folder permissions.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] topched:
Thanks for the instructions ffwalrus, seems to have worked for mine as well.

The only widget that has trouble loading right now is my tapatalk, but that has always had a problem for me of just disappearing when I restart.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Venky_R:
Thanks a million ffwalrus!!!

Thanks for this fix, I did not move the apk but updated permissions as per your input and this seems to have fixed widget loading problem for now... This widget loading issue was bugging me, thanks a bunch for your knowledge sharing
[General Questions and Answers] RDMPCTech:
:confused: Hello all. I am a newbie at Android and require assistance. Have loaded Android Gingerbread onto a 8GB SanDisk Micro SD card for usage in my Nook Color. when I complete the process and check the space in Windows Explorer, it indicated that the max size of the Micro SD card is 117MB (which is the space allocated to the Android O/S). Where is the Micro SD card's remaining 7.9GB? When I use a program titled Mini Tool Partition Wizard, it shows the remaining 7.9GB but am unable to access it. Want to use the remaining space for media but do not know how to recover it so that I can access it through Android Gingerbread when running on my Nook Color. Can anyone provide simple instructions as to the best way to accomplish this? Many thanks. :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCrid2000:
Try deleting all your saved wifi profiles.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
Another option is to change the channel that your router is transmitting on. Some areas have cluttered coverage on certain channels due to other home routers in the area. You can use an app such as wifi analizer to see which channels are free in the area.

Another app which might help in FXR wifi fix and recovery. This deletes all your presets and reinstalls the wifi suplicant files. It is free and I have tested it on the nook and found it to work well.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Another another option is to add the source and specify the SSID, etc. Once you have configured the wifi parameters, it should be able to find it until you delete it.
[General Questions and Answers] VTHockey11:
So I have an iPhone 4S right now.

Long story short, I switched from iPhone 4 to Droid X2. Hated how sluggish the X2 was but LOVED the openness of Android. And returned it and switched to the 4S when it arrived.

I love the look of Ice Cream Sandwich and every preview shows it running incredibly smoothly. It felt as though Android was in beta before ICS, and that it's finally moved into Gold product stage.

I'm dying waiting for the Nexus and mainly want it because it will have Ice Cream Sandwich.

My question is, should I just get the Galaxy S II or should I wait another few weeks for the Nexus? I don't care that much about 4G LTE. I DO want ICS. I've been reading the forums and it seems the S II is closing to get an ICS ROM that's fully functional.

What does everyone think? Get the S II today or wait a few more weeks for the Nexus?
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
2 days ago I would have said get the SII. But as full reviews are coming out now, I would definitely wait for the Nexus. Other than ICS, it is reviewed as an all around better phone (minus the camera, which is better on the SII). I do not own an SII, but you are going to get some disgustingly bias comments from people who do. Like I said, I am basing this off of reviews from reputable sites.
[General Questions and Answers] VTHockey11:
Thanks!

I'm very tempted by the Nexus (and the reviews are awesome!) I just have no idea when it's going to arrive. This month? December 8?

I'm very tempted by the S II because I'm hearing it runs pretty much as well as the Nexus, ICS is almost ready to be released (through ROMs, I'm sure the "official" release is a ways away), and it's cheaper.

Tough decision. I'm tired of iOS though and want to move on to a grown up OS. I just don't want to keep waiting. Argh.
[General Questions and Answers] JayJ-1974:
Yes I'm bias I own an SGS2 but just check the specs out, lower spec camera, amoled not amoled+, no guerilla glass! The only real plus the Nexus Galaxy has is vanilla ICS and the SGS2 will have ICS soon enough whether it be Sammy ICS or custom ROM ICS.

Look at the price difference for lower specs, are you willing to pay that much more just to have ICS early??

Better hardware, better software, better CPU, and I will quote the part about the display

"The other significant thing about the screen is its resolution. It’s a 720p HD Super AMOLED panel (full resolution 1280x720), similar to the display on the Samsung Galaxy Note. And just as we said in our review of that phone, this is about as good as it gets in terms of display technology on a portable device."

The only thing lower spec is the camera...this is a developer phone, who cares about the camera.
[General Questions and Answers] bvzxa3:
SGSII is better. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is not as good as the ones in the world SGS2 or the Epic Touch. The only thing this phone has really is the higher resolution screen. Tit for tat it's ok, but not ground-breaking.

Why 5MP camera on a higher res than throwing in a better 8MP camera like the one on the SGS2

Plus the hype about the phone, and the true specs were a let down just to be able to run ICS. And as far as vanilla android all of the other makers have the ability to run stock android with out the company's UI.
[General Questions and Answers] jimbo.levy:
I have used a Galaxy Nexus and the only thing I liked was the incredible screen. The rest was crap...including ICS.
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Hey, I am just going off of reviews from well known sites THAT HAVE TRIED BOTH PHONES! Until someone else chimes in that has in fact used both phones for more than 24 hours, your argument holds no ground. I have taken probably a total of 15 pictures with my phone in the past year, so I could really care less about the camera..
[General Questions and Answers] JayJ-1974:
More reasons not to go with the Nexus, 16gb USB storage and NO SD card expansion.

No flash until Adobe support it later in the year!?!

[General Questions and Answers] VTHockey11:
The question for me, I guess, is how close are we to having a working custom ICS rom for the S II? I like the specs of the S II better, and would prefer the smaller screen - I think 4.65" is pretty big.

I just want to be able to have ICS and not have to wait months and months for the Samsung official update with everything skinned. I want Vanilla android or something close to it, but would love it on the S II.
[General Questions and Answers] Fluckysan:
Interesting thread !

Since I keep questionning myself about the very same question at the moment, I'm constantly doing prons and cons game

Here is my observations so far :

Screen

Galaxy S II : smaller screen (4.3") but S-Amoled Plus and Gorilla Glass. No waste of screen since it got hardware buttons

Galaxy Nexus : bigger (4.6") not "plus" but more DPI and 720p, everyone accords to qualify it to sharper. Good for visioning (films etc)

CPU / GPU

Since the two got the same CPU (Cortex A9 dual core), let's take a look a the GPU

SGS2 : Mali 400Mp, strong for graphic features

SGN : PowerVR SGX540, not so good with graphic features

Here is a beanchmark comparison : http://www.anandtech.com/show/5133/galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sandwich-initial-performance

The choice of Google seems to go for user experience (general use, browsing etc). I don't think le GN is tailored to be a gaming beast for example

Hardware

The SGN doesn't have any micro-SD slot and can't do mass storage out of the box (but XDA dev are here for sure :p), it's a Google choice to unify the storage : http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...behind-galaxy-nexus-lack-of-usb-mass-storage/

No notification LED for the SGS2 but got the jack above

Camera is better on SGS2 but since the captor on a mobile phone are not very good ... Can we really see a difference ?

So ?

So the choice is yours :D

The 2 devices are great, it really depends what you are seeking for

I don't speak about ICS since everyone here know it will come to the SGS2 soon

If you want a device for gaming, I say go for the SGS2

If you want a new device and a good big beautifull screen, pick the SGN

What do you think ?

EDIT : a usefull link to compare the 2 : http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3621&idPhone2=4219
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
The 4.65 inch screen is a little misleading. Since there are no hardware buttons, the bottom part of the screen is dedicated for this. With that part of the screen gone, it is comparable to 4.3".
[General Questions and Answers] Fluckysan:
Yeah but the on screen buttons are hidden when you got a full screen app (videos, games, apps developpers set to fullscreen) so you got a real 4.65" screen for that :)
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
some food for thoughts about the Galaxy Nexus http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362556
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Yea, quite a bit of issues. But it is to be expected with a newly released phone, and the SGSII has many of the same issues. One note about the volume bug issue (which I hear is the most predominent issue). That would not affect users in the United States. It only happens on an Edge network running a certain frequency that is not supported here.
[General Questions and Answers] jamiemagee:
Get it

As a person who went through this, then thought screw it, I'll take the leap.

GET THE NEXUS

It is an amazing phone and in my opinion equally to the SGSII better taken into account the software.

My main point was- I don't like the SII I much prefer the look and shape of the Nexus.

However the main plus point is the Camera and stock android.

No lag at all with the camera and no crappy touchwiz meaning that you don't HAVE to root to get rid of it. :-)
