I have rooted my GF's Nook Color with the last stable CM7 root, it is an internal (emmc) root.
I downloaded a few apps I know she'll want, one of which being a document editor for her book, and other documents. Most of which are in .doc and .docx format. The main app I found to be most user friendly, and most like Microsoft Word, was Kingsoft Office app. Well about halfway into reading a document, maybe 2-5 mins after opening the app, it will say the application needs to force close. I have run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, but to no avail.
I am also having an issue setting wallpapers. I have followed several guides, and I believe my images are sized correctly. But when I long press the screen and go to set a wallpaper, I go to my gallery and select my picture and it brings me to a crop screen. No matter how I crop it, which I cant do a full crop where I can see the full image, I cant get the image to show up correctly. I've read multiple guides on how to change the wallpaper, but so far nothing is working. I do not know which launcher I am using, I guess I'm on whatever comes with the latest CM7. Id like to stick with whatever i'm using because so far It seems to have the best shortcut position and grid on the screen.
Any help and advice for these issues would be greatly appreciated. I have yet to receive help from some other posts on other sites, so I'm hoping to get some here.
Thank you in advance for your time.
I love that I have posted two threads here and not a single person has helped, yet I've been told this is the best and most active forum to get help on for these issues. What a load of crock. Searching through multiple threads with similar issues yet no solutions does not help me. I could really use some guidance here people.
Can't help with Kingsoft since I don't use it. Recommend QuickPic for setting correct wallpaper size on NC.

Thankyou for helping with what you could! I appreciate it. I will check out QuickPic.
Hopefully someone can help with the Kingsoft force closing, or recommend another app. thanks again!
If you're willing to look at other word processing applications, either QuickOffice or DocumentsToGo are good but pricy.

Hi everyone,
I recently got a GT but I've been having some problems using the "search" functions on websites.
For instance, here on XDA, whenever I try to use the "search this thread" the following happens:
1) the input box for entering text appears then,
2) the keyboard pops up for a second then,
3) the input box disappears, so I can't enter anything. [frustrating!]
I have tried this on multiple browsers (Stock, xScope and Dolphin HD) and on different sites and the same problem regardless of if I use the Samsung or Swype keyboards.
I have no similar issues using these browsers on my HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) or Nexus One.
One thing I notice, is that whenever the keyboard pops up, there are "Prev." and "Next" tabs right above the keyboard. I am not sure if those "extra" tabs are accidentally causing the browsers to resize the pages thereby shutting down the input text box.
Any ideas?
Also, why does XDA always show up jumbled in portrait view?
Thanks!~
:nudge:

The Tab can't handle these types of windows where they are a window within a window.
However, there is an easy solution.....
What you must do is when you click on the 'Search this Forum' or 'Search this Thread' boxes you must then click on where it says 'Advanced'.
This will then open up a new window where you can then type in your search request.
Regarding Portrait not showing correctly ~ I have no issues with the xda-devs web site in Portait mode. It must be a setting you have.
Thanks. Maybe it is a setting I have in my user cp since that's all I can thunk it might be. I will try your.suggestion.

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S, especially with 'xda 2010' theme and the drop down search boxes, i have tried a few different keyboards (Samsung, Gingerbread, Smart keyboard pro, HTC IME mod) the only one that works with the drop down boxes is HTC IME mod, you might want to give that a try. I have just done a quick search and i am not sure if it has been modded for the Tab?

If it works could you please leave me a vote of thanks..... but I stress, only if you feel it deserves it. The Thanks votes must only be used if someone has assisted or helped an individual in some form or another.
For each vote of thanks I receive my nurses are authorized to remove £10 from my wallet to go to charity.
What version of HTC ime mod are you using. I tried v.27 hi and keep getting fc. Do you have a link to the apk?
Thanks.

I use Firefox for Android and seems to work far better on sites that all the other mentioned browsers have problems with. Including this site. Firefox is still a beta but it works well enough for me on my Tab.
I was having trouble finding decent (HD) or there abouts wallpapers for the d2. Im about to sbf and cant seem to locate my current wallpaper again on the web, when I got it, I just long touched on the screen and chose save as wallpaper. Trying to backup all my stuff and for the life of me I cant find this dang file on my phone/sd card. Anyone know where its located? Thanks.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I'm curious where/how the wallpapers are stored as well. Just for kicks, I went to Google Images, searched dragon, and pressed and held a file named red-dragon.jpg, then selected Set as Wallpaper. Using Root Explorer, I went through every folder on my phone, excluding the ~/sdcard, searching for "red-dragon," ".jpg," and "dragon.jpg." None of which gave me any results.
So, sorry to say, but I think the D2 really likes to hide your wallpaper. :/
Did you know that you can actually google how to boil water? In any case, google is your best friend. Rarely picky and almost never down...anyways, back to topic:
I recommend googling: current wallpaper location android. The first hit helped me a little bit into it. It seems there is this folder called data that you can only access once you rooted your device. Since Im in no need to do so and myself new to android I leave you to do whatever you want with this information.
Im also sure that you will need a root file explorer...only guesses though.

Maybe you were too busy being smug to read my post, so I'll just give you the tl:dr version.
I searched through the entire /data folder with Root Explorer for ".jpg" and found nothing when I was using a "red-dragon.jpg" as my background.
Thanks for your mastery of searching on Google though.
I am not rooted but whenever I save wallpapers from the internet on my phone they end up in a folder titled downloads..that shows up in my gallery and when I look at mt sd card..check to cee if you have a folder titled that as well

I think the system puts things like that in a database file. I have my walpaper of a picture I took but it is no where on the phone. It is defined in an xml file but where actually stored i think it is in a DB file. Sorry I can not make the "thumb keyboard" do commas.

I'm going to investigate this hunch further. I'll search the /system folder for all .xml files or database files. I can't say I'm an expert on the matter though, so... No promises on results.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but if others stumble on this like I did, here's the answer. in the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ folder there is a file called wallpaper (no extensions). it is actually a jpg file (if you copy it somewhere else and add a .jpg at the end you'll be able to see it)
@tsachi Here is my question: I would like all these lovely wallpapers I downloaded to show up in the dialog when I press Menu...wallpaper then hit the wallpaper button. The same default papers are always there and I would like to move my downloaded wallpapers to where ever that is.

Thanks tsachi. I was able to confirm this. I couldn't see the contents of /data with ES File Explorer, but I was able to do this through adb:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.settings/files/
cp wallpaper /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg
exit
exit
Then I was able to look at it in any image viewer.
Not directly related, but I used adbWireless so that I wouldn't need to connect the usb cable and I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper as my wallpaper switcher.

Hey there,
I wanted to set my Wallpaper manually to avoid cropping when choosing a file in the gallery.
On my Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.1 the wallpaper is found at:
"/data/system/users/0/wallpaper"
The file has no ending but is a jpg file (as sad by others).
If you want to exchange the file with yours remember to set the right permissions.
I dont know exactly how they have to be, but if you give all users at least read access it should work.
After a reboot the new Wallpaper should be set.
My wallpaper now has a resolution of 3966x2560 and there are no black bars anywhere. The system seem so crop it on the fly.
Confirmed on JB 4.2, the location is
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper
Copy wallaper to somewhere else and change its extension to wallpaper.jpg and you are done.

Hello
Sent from my LG-P760 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks, I found it and replaced it there. Anyone got any idea where to find the lockscreen image so I can do the same?
I do not own a Kindle Fire yet I understand that Kindle Fire technically runs 2.3. Since sideloading is good to go, has anybody tried running an alternate home screen launcher? I know it won't look at good as a tablet running honeycomb, but at least it will have more tablet look. My wife is on the fence about getting either an Acer A100 or this Kindle Fire. Oh and she is not computer literate and thinks that root is the part of the tree that resides under the ground. Thanks everybody!
I was able to load Go launcher on mine - it looks nice.
My wife is also technically challenged - that said, it's technically her device, she preferred the native launcher - I do too.
Why? For her the ease of 'click to launch' all in one place rather than scrolling through screens.
Fwiw, my kids were able to turn on the device and navigate - the out-of-the-box carousel launcher is quite intuitive.
I found it (native launcher) launched the apps faster, actually - although ymmv - hence my preference for the native launcher.
Interesting, thank you for your time and input regarding this matter. I probably will download the app that will help my wife switch between go launcher and the native launcher app for the kindle. I'm running go Launcher on my SGS II so she should have zero issues customizing it to her likings.
Thanks again for your assistance!
You bet! Glad to help.

I tried Go Launcher, but didn't like it that much. Having used ADW on my Droid for a long time I decided to try it out, and I have to say I much prefer it.
I even have Beautiful Widgets running on it too.
However, a couple of problems I've seen.
1. I can't create folders?
2. There is no GeoLocate (even for WiFi), so I can't get the weather working. Anyone get this working or have any tips?
Passing on a little tip for those that haven't rooted and don't have the Android Market running. Beautiful Widgets requires the Market for themes/skins etc. What I've found is that if I download to my phone, and then copy the contents of /data/beautifulwidgets/scskins, skins and wskins to my Kindle, I am able to select the widgets.
ADW EX works great.
Launcher pro keeps FC.
The only two I have tried.
I just bought the Fire today and it is seriously a tiny tablet without a camera. Pretty cool.
I'm using adw.ex without issue. Only complaint is that you have to.switch back to the kindle interface to browse your books and magazines and custom desktop backgrounds revert to kindle backgrounds after screen unlock.

Am I the only one who seems to love the Amazon backgrounds, and even more so that they change? I for one will try and keep them if we ever get a custom ROM.
With ADW Launcher, and an almost opaque Beautiful Widget Super Clock widget, mine looks fantastic!

In the Beautiful Weather setting, there is a section for location settings. In this section, you can toggle geolocation and manually search for a location. I got it working fine on my Fire with Launcher Pro.

Yep, I got that a short while after posting. I should have posted as much, but as you did, you get the thanks!
Now if only someone could figure out the geolocate stuff...
Zeam Launcher doesn't work for me.
Force Closes.
Tried several different versions.
Anyone get it working?
Wish I could remember which app I was playing with but I don't. The important part that I want to share was that it showed that the Fire internal settings showed that there is a GPS and it's on. Since there really isn't one perhaps that's why apps are having troubles. They query the OS and it's says there is an active GPS yet the data returned from the get GPS location call is worthless so the app gets confused. Whichever app it was that showed the setting also had the ability to turn GPS off. Can't help but wonder if that'd make a difference.

I'm getting force closes with ADW EX. I can't seem to remove it either. Could someone post the trick to remove this application?
EDIT: I got ADW removed, maybe I was using an old version or something.
EDIT 2: I got a later version of ADW to work. The only issue so far is getting the "Kindle" application to execute.
Thanks
YMark, same here - I have ADW running fine, yet the book reader app is not working. Maybe fix permissions and reboot?

If LP is crashing for you, convert it to a system app in titanium backup and reboot. Don't select LP as your default launcher until you are sure it won't crash it you'll end up in a loop and have to adb to remove LP. Ask me how i know

Yes, this is a common issue and it is due to incompatabilities between the apps and HC 3.2.1. The mount point was changed for the SDcard. the apps that try to cache to the SDcard are having issues. The browser is one of them. A lot of people are using Dolphin HD. They going into the settings and telling not to cache to the SDcard. It does not eliminate the problem, but seems to make it managable. It will take a change in the apps to fix the issue. Dolphin has a beta out that address this issue.
Thank you!
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Please note that the Dolphin beta does not address the problem. Periodic wiping of the cache is still required to prevent the browser from locking up.
According to the support email I got from Dolphin, the beta 7.2.1 has this issue corrected. And so far as I can tell, it has solved the problem.

Well, If you do not want to take someones advice why ask for help?
only way you are going to use the kindles native reader is f you install all of the amazon system apps and have the core libraries functioning.... which can be done with careful mod work on cm7 but isnt worthwhile imho.
