It's a blank where the descriptive text should be.. the text is missing..
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
I don't see any missing text in my tools?

So when I turn on my nook do I need to go "nook color settings"? Is there something special I need to go into on the settings? When I do this there is nothing out of the ordinary. I am not using CyanoBoot. Should I be? It seems like something is missing from my nook that is not allowing me to access the hidden settings that I need to stop it from auto updating. The instructions that everyone has told me so far seem very simple but I am just not finding anything in my tools that is missing text, which leads me to believe I don't have something downloaded that I should or maybe I am in the wrong thing on my nook.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
I was looking at the app that brianf21 created and I have been unable to install this on my nook. Is that what I am missing to be able to access the hidden settings? I have tried to install this app and it won't allow me to. It fails when I try to download it onto my nook. On screen shots of the app brianf21 created I see "unknown sources" in the app settings but I don't have this available. Is this what I am lacking? And if so how do I install this app? I tried through app installed and a package installer and both failed.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Lets start over... tell us exactly what you have done so far as pertained to "rooting", since you originally state you "had to go through a lot of different procedures to get it back to the rooted version"... Knowing what you have really done will help us tremendously in trying to provide you some help.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
Originally out of the box I had a nook color with 1.4.2 firmware and I looked online for how to root it and found some different threads on how to do this. On my sd card I downloaded the clockworkmod and manual nooter 5.02.19. When I did this I ended up with a rooted nook. I didn't do anything else after installing these on my nook until a few weeks ago when my nook auto updated and I ended up with 1.4.3 firmware.

After the update I was unable to access my android apps unless I shut the nook down and started it back up, this would give me access to my android apps for 30 sec to a min before going back to the barnes and noble screen, so I looked online in xda threads to see what I needed to do. I posted a thread on xda stating my situation and got a few different leads on what to do. The first thing I tired to do was just reroot my nook with the original files, which didn't work. After I tried that I started looking at threads on fixing partitions. I downloaded emmc-repair-partition-1-4-5-6-7-8.zip and emmc-format-partitions-5-6-7-8.zip. After I put those on I had to do emmc-repair-partition-2.zip. Next I put on nookcolor-1-4-1-signed.zip and then reverted to 1.4.1 firmware. After that I used the same clockwork and manual nooter as I did the first time. Now I am rooted again but am unable to get the brianf21 hidden settings app to install. I want to prevent my nook from updating again to avoid any of this again.

I hope this helps solve my problem. There were a couple other reformat zips that I tried on my nook before the emmc repair ones, but they didn't seem to have any effect at all.

Thanks for all the help thus far it is really encouraging.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
You went through a lot of extra steps... all you really needed to do was re-manual noter 5.02.19 after it updated... Anyway... after you manual nooter it... in the nook color tweaks app (i think that's what its called in mn) on the app installations there will be a checkbox on top that will not have any text describing it... that is the checkbox for allowing non market apps.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
I downloaded the hidden tweaks app but I don't see any checkbox that is unchecked. In the tweeks there are settings for audio, boot, cpu, display, usb, 2 places to donate, and finally nook tweaks 1.4.3. I was trying to access the nook tweaks but when I click on it nothing happens. Am I missing something?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It is not the nook tweaks app that has that setting, it is nook color tools.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Dammit... that's what I thought I typed:eek:
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
Thanks for the help, but nothing has worked. I don't think I have the hidden text on my nook in the settings section. I have looked through all the settings and haven't been able to locate anything resembling what has been described. Maybe I am missing something on my nook that I should have downloaded to let me access the hidden settings.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You did not install a program called nook color tools as part of your rooting? That is where the settings are.

It is part of the package in manual nooter 5.02.19. The brianf21 app you see in the market is called hidden settings and is for the Nook Tablet.

You can get the Nook Color Tools app here.

Edit: After re-reading your original post, I see you are not looking to allow non-market apps, you are looking to stop the OTA updates. I don't think there is any setting in any nook color apps to do that. That brianf21 app has it, but that is for the Nook Tablet. I think you have to manually edit the settings database with root explorer/sql editing software. Search nook color forums for how to do that.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
I do have the nook color tools on my nook. When I go into "color tools" what am I looking for? There are roughly 30 different settings in color tools, I have looked through many of them and not been able to locate anything that looks like missing text.

I have the nook color, not the tablet so does that mean the brianf21 app won't work for me? You are right that I am trying to stop OTA, but I thought that I needed the brianf21 app to do that. So are you saying that I don't need the brianf21 app? And there is another way for me to stop the OTA?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
This has been such a long, confusing thread people lost sight of the fact that you were looking for blocking OTA. Almost all of the advice about missing text, etc was for allowing non-market apps.

As I said in my edited post above, The brianf21 app is for Nook TABLET and will not run on Nook COLOR. The Tablet is a completely different device and apps built for it will not work on the Color. And there is no Nook Color app to block OTA for you. Also as I said earlier, you must use the root explorer/ sql editor method to do it.

All I had to do was a simple search on Nook Color XDA for block OTA. Search is your friend. See the post here.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
I don't see anything in the OP about blocking OTA... said he got OTA'd and re-rooted... and was having issues getting hidden settings app to dl and install... the advice given to that end was to provide assistance in getting (any non market) app to download and install... as that is what it appeared to me he was trying to achieve.

Maybe I'm just misreading it... I am DIZZY after all ;)
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You're right Dizzy, not about being dizzy, LOL, but about him not really revealing what he was looking for until several posts into this mess. He said he wanted to prevent the update from happening again and I knew brianf21's app had that setting. I guess I just read between the lines. Hopefully he is on track now.

[Nook Color General] rnclock:
Thanks leap, I'm not sure what line you read between, but I think you nailed it. After re-reading everything, it makes sense now.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
Thank you both for your help, and sorry if what I was trying to do was or is still unclear. I am trying to simply block OTA. I have searched and searched and keep finding different ways to block OTA and wasn't really sure which to do since all that I found are so different. I thought the brianf21 hidden settings app was for nook color and that i could use that to stop the OTA, but I guess I was wrong. I am only trying to stop the OTA on my nook color so whatever does that is what I need. I haven't downloaded the root explorer yet. I looked at the post and it seems easy enough, but will this for sure stop OTA? If it will I have no problem paying the 4 bucks for the download. When I was looking at the app online someone said that EStrong's file explorer does the same thing? I downloaded estrong explorer but haven't figured out how to stop OTA if it is even possible. Does anyone know if this will work too or is root explorer the only one that will work? Also are there any videos that you know of showing how to stop the OTA? The videos that I keep watching are for nook tablet and look pretty in depth and involve hooking the nook to your computer and downloading various files. I am hoping for the fastest, easiest solution to my problem.

Thanks again for all the help and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
It is really not root explorer that does it. It is the companion product 'SQLite editor'. And that costs also. They work together to do it. You need to edit that database file and alternate root file managers like EStrongs File explorer will not do it. And yes that definitely blocks OTA.

There is a way to use a free terminal SQL editor, but it is complicated to use and must be done with the terminal emulator. Best to just pay the money and do it the easy way.

EDIT: I just looked at play store. There is another product now, 'aSQLiteManager' that is free and may do the job and looks easy to use.
[Nook Color General] punkface8:
I downloaded the EQL editor and it looks just like Titanium Backup. I know you said you just saw the product so you may not be familiar with it or how it works, but if I do use the EQL will I have to do similar steps that I would for Titanium Backup? I watched a video about the TB, but it was hard to see what was happening on the screen and I believe TB was used for nook tablet.

Again thanks for all the help and support. Hopefully I will get this all figured out soon.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I don't know what EQL editor is. Never heard of it and it is certainly not what I had in my edited post above.

That new free one I talked about needs to use the terminal to edit that specific database so will not work.

And SQLite Editor does not look like titanium backup. If you open just that, it gives a list of apps. Pick Device Manager like that other post said and go from there.

Stop watching videos that don't apply and just follow the directions.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
The simplest way to stop OTA updates as of now is to have CWM or TWRP installed as the recovery on eMMC... when the update hits that... it stops... no update if B&N's uRecRam and uRecImg aren't the ones there.

Using my droid incredible 2 and foxfi and PDA net with Bluetooth tether but some apps don't work why is this for example Netflix and gmail don't work they say they cannot find a network connection same wit the play store why is this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxheadmat:
Same Problem

Yeah, just started playing with this yesterday and hit the same wall. Interestingly chrome works great when I have the connection setup this way but nothing else will see the connection, not gmail, now or any other app. To heck with the battery life, I have a monster battery on my Infuse now, tried wifi tether but my Nexus won't even see it. =/ Will keep messing with it though and see if I can come up with anything.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
Gmail, Play and a lot of other apps seem to work without any issues through bluetooth tethering.

BBC News app thinks there's no internet connection though, so that's one app I can't use.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I've not seen any custom ROMs specifically for the I9100P. But I9100P phones can use I9100 custom ROMs mostly fine, except the phone will lose NFC functionality. However, there is a mod somewhere out there that allegedly re-enables the NFC functionality on P model phones if you choose to flash an I9100 custom ROM.

I don't actually have it bookmarked, so I don't have a link for you, but I'm sure if you search around for it, you can find it.

Just make sure if you choose to go this route, to stay away from I9100G ROMs, firmwares, and kernels.

Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if I have searched enough but I'm currently using Nikez Lente's ICS rom 1.0.1a9 and I was wondering if anyone of you know what is the system app name for the phone's homescreen where all my apps, widgets are currently stored. I'm a bit of a flash freak so every now and then I drag my at least 40-50 apps one by one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

If you use Go Launcher Ex, it has a feature to save the settings.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrookie24:
Okay. That's a good suggestion but I'm quite happy with the default ICS launcher so...do you know the exact name of the system that lists all my homescreen shortcuts?

I'm thinking here that as long as it is ICS this does not change right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyutilsdroid:
Well, I doubt it. if you are switching between roms which were not built on the same kernel, it's difficult to restore the home app along with data.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrookie24:
What if I only use a specific Custom Rom(Nikez Lente Releases)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyutilsdroid:
Well, I use miui ROM which has got it's own backup tool. It backs up the desktop layout.

can you see if your ROM had any such backup tool
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrookie24:
Nah, Nikez Lente ICS is a vanilla ROM & a light one, which I like very much while were at it. I use titanium backup when I switch to new release I'm just not sure which system app to backup for the homescreen.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] a042349:
I have a problem with my brand new Gtab 7.7 with installing applications from the Play store. Many of the apps I normally would install (Dropbox, Facebook, Go Launcher HD, etc) are reported by Google Play as "not compatible with your device".

I bought it through Amazon unlocked with no warranty (I'm in the US). The "Build number" is HTJ85B P6800XXLA4, and the Baseband is P6800XXLA3

My Tab is running stock Honeycomb 3.2 although I did root it. I also played around with raising the LCD density, but never went over 200 and tried putting it back with no change in Play install problems.

On a previous gray market device I had to modify the build.prop device ID (fingerprint?) but I haven't seen anybody discussing this so I haven't pursued it yet.

Anybody have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
