[Q] Nook Tablet Root

Noobie!!
Rooted my Nook Tablet. Think I did everything correct...although I am thinking maybe not. Is it possible for it to work but have some sort of bug?
Here is what I mean: I'm new to the android market...but why am I not seeing apps like facebook and angry birds. My wife has an android phone and she has all of that. Also...and here is the biggie....when I turn on my Nook...I go to the ADW Launcher screen where my apps are, however, I don't think my "N" button is doing the right thing. If I press it once, my actual Nook menu pops up (like it would out of the box before I rooted it) and if I press it a second time, it brings me back to the B&N main screen that was there before I rooted it and I then can't go back to the Android screen.
Anyone have any thoughts? I am really frustrated at this point!
Thanks
Bob

well its not clear what you did,did you follow all the guidelines,like installing drivers etc .Im reasonably tech savvy but even i found it a little bit challenging,esp installing windows drivers. start again and follow the instructions carefully..one last thing double click the n button, that would bring up any launcher you have installed rather than clicking it twice. with a little patience and effort youll get it sorted out .you dont have a bug...rooting the nook tablet is a multistage process,including opening up hidden settings,usb debugging,windows drivers etc. and i think having firmware 1.40 good luck its a supurb tablet

I'm a noob too, but I've been reading this site for the past 24 hours trying to fix-up my Nook Tablet. As for Android Market, even though you rooted your NT the Market still recognizes your device as a NT and won't let you download apps that apparently won't work with the default Nook launcher. If you do some searching sometimes you can find a .APK file you can download using your browser and then install the package for an app you like. Just be careful about where you download from to avoid any malware.
As for your "n" button, it sounds like Homecatcher isn't setup right. Uninstall Homecatcher and reinstall it to see if you can get it to work. Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356206
Good luck.

Hi -
I'm not sure what functionality you're seeking. This is what I did with my year old NC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448186
It's fabulous. No brainer, goof-proof (if you follow the well written instructions down the line). One issue I have is trying to get the remaining space on the SD card I used to show and therefore allow content. But that's not the mod's fault. I have another post pending an answer to that on the Q&A forum here.
I can recommend this set of dual boot mods to you without reservation. For me, it was almost "too easy"...

rooted moto g lollipop system ui has stopped no stock launcher... PLEASE HELP!!

hi all,
i stupidly decided to root my moto g - i say 'stupidly' bc i clearly didn't have the knowledge to have that much power... it was working fine for several weeks & then it started having issues booting & charging if i accidentally let the battery get too low. that happened a couple times & i was able to get it working again by charging it in different ways (wall, computer) & letting it alone for a day or so. but then the other day i turned it on & i got the 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped working' & gave me the option to click 'I'm feeling lucky.' once pressed the phone would boot up (though it took much longer than usual) & when it finally did, i'd get various messages such as 'exchange services has stopped,' motorola notifications has stopped,' 'System UI has stopped' - basically everything has stopped & they just kept popping up & then the phone would freeze. before the phone would freeze, in between messages, i could still get into my apps & other parts of my phone, but it would always eventually freeze after a few minutes (or less). i tried various troubleshooting techniques (reboot in recovery, factory reset, etc) which eventually led to doing a hard factory reset. unfortunately, i believe at some point before all the problems started i must have deleted some system things i shouldn't have, including the stock launcher (i was using Buzz Launcher) so now it's returned to factory but missing some vital components.
here's the current state of my phone: it will boot up (though it takes much longer than usual) but as soon as it does i get the message 'unfortunately, system UI has stopped,' 'exchange services has stopped,' 'motorola notification has stopped,' & 'System UI has stopped' again. when i click on 'ok' for that last message, i get the flash of a weird red window & then just a black screen that shows the (correct) time, battery level & phone signal in the upper right corner but it's frozen. before it freezes completely, the only thing i can get into/click anyway is the status bar at the top but the window doesn't even drop down. so the phone is basically booted up but useless.
i've done tons of research & looked into using a toolkit or flashing android/moto stock but i'm using a Chromebook & nothing is compatible with it that i've found so far. & i'm not even sure how to get into the phone via a Chromebook, if it's possible.
PLEASE HELP!! i'm getting desperate. can't afford to buy a new phone right now & i really need this thing to work again.
SHORT STORY: Moto G, System UI has stopped, missing some vital stock stuff, phone boots up, no launcher, Chromebook, last system i was using was Lollipop
does anyone have any idea...? also, keep in mind i'm clearly not as knowledgeable about this stuff as most of you or i never would've gotten myself into this situation. so keep your responses as if responding to Android/Moto G for Dummies. ;-P Thanks!!

Flash a custom ROM via custom recovery

Check out CM11/12. I have the boost 3g version with Blisspop (CM12) and it works great.
Also, if you created a backup before you went root you might try restoring it instead of factory reset.

Make a wipe, or reflash the rom

Chromebook
thanks for the replies guys but my issue is trying to do any of the above from a CHROMEBOOK. in order to flash a ROM though, I need to install the Motorola android device driver & I've yet to find one that's compatible with Chromebook - I'm not sure there is one... anyone have any experience in flashing ROM or any other Moto G fixes from a CHROMEBOOK? thanks.

Can u still access your recovery?

[Completed] How to clean the device fully? [Please read]

Hey guys, any help would be appreciated!
Alright, I will try to explain it simply and clean. Basically, the thing is when I first got my LG G2 (kitkat), I rooted it and installed some mods. One of them was G2 tweaksbox xposed module. With that module, you can hide "clear all" and "task manager" button from recents. But the thing is, after I re-flashed my ROM (absolutely full wipe, nothing left), weird thing happened since. You all know that animation when going to recents from an app in jelly bean and kitkat and now, it's kinda bugged. The animation is a little bit off graphically. Basically, the animation reads navigation bar like it's a little bit bigger than it should be and it looks kinda weird, like it first goes a little bit more bottom and gets back up making it look graphically bad. Everything shows that nav bar is stock size, even tried many mods that make it stock and yeah, basically it is stock but even some apps still read it like it's wrong. That animation is fixable if I hide that buttons in recents again, but it bugs me that even after 3 months of MANY wipes and all the crap it's still like that, I just can't make it fully stock if I would want to.
So my question is, is something from xposed or anything like that left in phone even after going through FULL wipes many many, like maaany times? Did I miss something? If so, can I do something like manual cleaning so phone will finally be 100% stock again? I call it "memory effect", sort of like phone still reads it like there's an xposed module partially and it just can't get a rid of that.
So, I would really appreciate if you read this fully and try to help me. Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
To better assist you, please post your device model number and carrier.
Wiping cache (dalvik), data and system partitions should do the trick. Some apps use the internal storage /sdcard to store data too.
It's pretty easy to go back to full stock on a Nexus device but you should ask in your device forum to get further assistance.

[Completed] Prevent automatic web refreshing after root and RAM expansion LG Tribute 5

Hello. I'm absolutely new here but I've done as much digging as I can and can't seem to find an answer for my problem so I decided to ask someone.
I recently bought a LG LS675 Boost Mobile Tribute 5 to replace my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini that started acting wonky. For the first time ever I rooted a phone (I'm proud of myself even though the developers did all the work writing the program, thank you) and got rid of some useless stock apps. Yay. OK, so that freed up some space and got rid of notifications for useless apps.
I had read that automatic web page reloading has to do with the phone's RAM being too little so I bought Roehsoft RAM Expander and bumped it up to 4GB. While I know it doesn't increase your true RAM I thought it would have helped some because of what the post said but it hasn't helped at all. Then I read that if you overclock your CPU you can improve the entire experience of everything but I can't locate any kernels and recovery ROMs for this specific device, and the thread was VERY CLEAR that it MUST be device specific or you'll end up with a paper weight. So, I'd like to know what I can do (if anything) to prevent this. It's quite annoying to have your page reload after your screen times out or after you answer a text message, or swap to another tab, or do anything really. It's really annoying when you're reading a long article and it refreshes because the screen went to sleep and then you have to wait for it to reload and then scroll down to find where you left off. But probably the worst is when I want to go to another site and it forces me to wait for what I was looking at to reload before it will process my request to go to another site. And it isn't like it reloads in a few seconds it sometimes takes a full minute or the screen will time out (because I like trying to multi-task) and didn't notice the 30 second mark had passed and have to wait for it to start the process all over again. I've increased the RAM and close out apps I know I won't be using again for a while. I've tried OperaMini, Firefox (my main browser), Chrome, Dolphin, Puffin, and they all do it. They all reload the page/tab if I leave it for one second or my phone times out.
Should I ditch this phone and get something else? My Galaxy didn't have this problem but it was doing other weird annoying stuff which is why I stopped using it. Should I just suck it up? Is there a developing/settings option someone can guide me though to quit this automatic reloading or another awesome web browser? I believe my Galaxy was/is superior to this phone in every way really, but for now this is the phone I have so what can I do? I really appreciate your help! Thank you.
