yesterday i rooted my kindle and installed the android market. however there are some apps that are not shown, for example, angry birds ( the angry birds seasons does show, but the other two doesn't )
i live overseas but use MarketEnabler (the same configuration i have in my nook which currently show all apps)
ï ensured that the lcd density is 160, and also tried the market fix that applied to the nook color (and other tablets):
Choose "Manage Applications" from the list.
Select the "All" tab.
Scroll down to "Market" and select it.
Tap "Force stop".
Tap "Clear cache".
Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).
Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it.
Tap "Clear data".
Tap "OK".
Tap "Force stop".
Press the n button to return to your launcher.
Start Market.
At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK".
Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.
Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.
Start Market again, and the problem is resolved.
but it didnt help

I've noticed random apps missing from the market as well and I am in the US. One example is Google Maps

Not if they are not using CM7, from the OP of that link you provided:
YOU MUST BE RUNNING CM7!
YOU MUST HAVE ROOT!
I WILL NOT SUPPORT STOCK!

Google maps does not show up because the KF does not have the hardware to support its functions.
That doesn't mean you can't side load it, you can, and parts of it will work, but the market only shows you things that you device is listed as capable of.

I only have one app in my market, it is download-able but none the less its the only thing there. any idears?
Any ideas folks?
So you started doing the Manualnooter 4.5.2 for 1.2
Just continue one with the rest of the steps. Reading further down on the Step-by-step guide you get these instructions.
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
5) Select the Applications option
6) Select the Manage applications option
7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
13) Tap on the Force close button now.
14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing!
Thanks, your awesome!

Hi! I have a rooted nook color version 1.4.1, model BNRV200. When I first rooted it, android market was running fine. But few months ago (can't remember when), android market was removed from the apps, that's when I knew that it was replaced by Google Play. Also, whenever I click "n" the nook displays the menu bar at the bottom of the screen and when i click anything, nook went back to unrooted state. Then I will reboot to access the rooted state again. And clicking "n" would take me back to unrooted state, and so on.
My questions are: (1) How do I add Google Play into my rooted nook (rooted using manual nooter 5.02.19 apps2d. note that i rerooted my nook into this and got the same result. (2) How do I fix the "n" problem? thanks in advance.

(1) Your NC should have automatically updated itself to the Google Play Store. When you open that app drawer, you should see a white shopping bag that has a multicolor sideways triangle on it that says “Play Store” under it. If this is missing from your device, open the app "NookColor Tools" --> All Settings --> Manage Applications --> All, look for "Market" or "Google Play Store," and then select "Uninstall Updates." This will take you back to the original market, open the market, agree to the terms and conditions, then exit the market to allow it to update. After a couple minutes, you should see the old market app disappear, and the new "Play Store" app appear in the app drawer. Just open the "Play Store" app, and agree to the terms and conditions.
(2) It is not taking you to an unrooted state, it is just taking you back to the factory B&N home. This happened because someone set the factory home as the default action to take. To fix this, you need to go to the NookColor Tools app --> All Settings --> Manage Applications --> All --> HomeCatcher, and select the last option "Clear Defaults." Now when you click "n," and select "Home," you will be presented with an option menu that has two chooses, select the top option, and check to the make to make it your default. Whenever you click "n," and select "Home," it will keep you in the Zeam launcher, and you can just use the "Nook Home" app from the app drawer to get back to the factory B&N home if you need too.
If you are sticking with the default/stock EMUI launcher, there are 2 ways to alphabetize your app list. Yes, you can just install a new launcher but personally I prefer using the stock launchers. I enjoy using all manufacturer launchers (touchwiz, sense, etc.) as I get to know the characteristics of one brand from another.
1) Hit "Settings", "Home screen style" , then select ""Drawer". This will enable an app drawer icon on your home screen and all the apps are automatically sorted in alphabetical order.
2) If you want to stick with the "Standard" layout without the app drawer icon (similar to iOS), there is no option in the settings to sort the apps in alphabetical order. Manually moving around the icons is such a mess. However, there is a workaround to this:
Hit "Settings", scroll down and hit "Apps", hit "More" and hit "Show system processes".
Scroll down and hit "Huawei Home", hit "Storage" and hit "CLEAR DATA" and "CLEAR CACHE".
That's it. When you press home your apps will be in alphabetical order. However, you will have to repeat this process every time you install/uninstall apps.
Clearing data not working
Hi,
Thank you for publishing this tip, but clearing Huawei Home data and cache didn't work on my Huawei P20 with Android 8.1. Icons haven't been alphabetized, they were just moved to fill the empty spaces between them. Moreover, this has completely destroyed all my folders!
Do you have a trick that would work with Android 8.1, or Android 9 to which I can update ?
Thanks in advance!
Do not try...
This does Not work at all. In fact clear data resets your entire home screen, folders, layout and settings.
Now it's time to go through 240 apps and reorganise :silly:
Hi guys,
I never had the Google Launch/Google now thing before on my Moto X Pure. But suddenly now it is there on the left most of my home screen. And it opens up every single time I swipe to the most left screen.
This is a huge battery drain. I want to disable it.
I tried to search online. They say I have to disable the Google Cards or something. But I look at the Google Now setting and that setting is nowhere in sight on my Moto X Pure.
Please help!

Hi. I disabled Your Feed. I even disabled them under "Customized". However the left most screen is still there. If possible I want that Google screen gone from the home screen altogether. It is so annoying.

Holding an empty spot in the home screen shows wallpaper settings, widget settings, and Settings (Home Screen). I don't see that option "show google app" under the Home Screen Setting.

Sorry, thought that settings in Google now launcher and pixel launcher would be similar, but what I said is an option in pixel launcher, why not give it a try?

I had the same 'issue' in that I like to have just one homescreen, not multiple homescreens to swipe between but google had forced this second google 'card/now/feeds' (whatever) homescreen upon me and my Nexus 6P (I realise the OP has a different phone but hopefully this solution will work for all phones).
I searched and searched for a solution but could not find one. Eventually through messing about I managed to get rid of it myself though this does reduced the 'power' of the google search app (which I don't care about as I open apps I want when I want e.g. I open browser to search the web, open maps to search for a place, contacts for contacts etc.) So try my solution below and I hope it works for you too:
From your homescreen swipe right/left (finger from left to right) to get to the dedicated google 'card/now/feeds' homescreen. Press the three-lines menu button then Settings then Accounts & Privacy, then Google Account then select the 'sign out' radio button. Wait a few seconds while it signs out... now press your home button and you should only have just one homescreen now (or at least however many you had before the google dedicated one). You may have to repeat this a second time if it didn't sign you out (google does not want you to keep your information private haha!!) Now to complete the process press your bottom right 'square' button (to the right of home 'circle' button) and swipe the google app off to the right to close the app from memory, otherwise if you leave it in memory and then select it by accident it will sign you back in and create the extra homescreen again!
You can still use the google search bar that is at the top of your homescreen (I have a Nexus 6p so that's where it is for me) - it works just fine
Go to settings, google, search, your feed and disable it.
Here is the solution
Hi
I have the solution. From the apps swipe Google app to the app info on top and then go to storage in info settings then clear all the data. Thats it. You just need to customize your home screen shortcuts again.
You could just use a custom launcher, like Nova Launcher... You get lots of customization abilities too. Nova Launcher is the pretty much the first app I install on any phone I have.
Google app > Settings > Your feed > turn off feed.
No need to clear anything.
2nding Nova Launcher, but I only use it on devices that aren't stock or near stock.

Thank you looneyjetman! Worked like a charm! I had tried turning it off through "feed" and "voice", nothing worked. Privacy settings is the way to go.

I have and LG G6 running Google Now Launcher (coming from a Nexus 5X) and after an update this extra home screen was added to my system which I could not disable.
What I have done is uninstalled Google Now Launcher which only uninstalled the updates. Then I set auto updates to "off" via the Play Store which has kept my screen clear of this unwanted home screen. (though this had to side effect of removing my home screen customisation)
However your solution sounds much easier - has it ever resigned you in bringing back the unwanted home screen?

i got that google screen yesterday on my german nexus 5x.

Have followed the information provided by loonyjetman and resolved.
How I just wish I could leave feedback for Google
Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help
Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.
Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.

Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
