I have my LIVE services active, when I go into Marketplace and confirm installation of apps.It tells me that the apps will be in the app menu under games, but I do not see anything!
Am I missing something here?

That's the thing! I go into "games" I don't see anything that says play.
When I try to install now from Marketplace within the phone, I get "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while".
You have to perform the registry hack and whatnot to get such working properly. Go search it up, you'll find some nice guides on how to.
I apologize if this has been discussed, I really did search and only found one place where this was asked, but there was no answer. According to the Samsung 7.7 features page it says this "Mini Apps : Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. You can easily access favorite features such as Calendar, Email, or PenMemo as a pop up over full screen applications. " So obviously my question is this. How is this done? Or is it even possible on my model? Thank you and again sorry of this has already been addressed.
If you look at the bottom bar on your Tab you will see an icon that looks like an upside down 'v'. Click on it and it will bring up your mini-apps tray. You can launch those mini apps over the app you are in.

I think you misunderstood my question. I know about the up/ down arrow and the mini apps. But it says that is is Upgraded so you can choose and edit your own Mini Apps tray. So Im trying to figure out how to change them if its possible on the wifi only 6810. Thanks

I was able to get it to work by applying one of the systemui.apk files from here. I am able to edit the mini apps now on my 6810. Thanks

Im not totally sure which one I used, but it might have been the one in post 19. But that one will change the icons as well. Im not sure where you might get one that is stock. The same author of that thread "Ssaass" makes an app called "Wizzbar" that might help you. I may be able to make one for you. Upload your systemui.apk and Ill see what I can do.

That would be great, I'm sending you my stock SustemUI.apk, now... how I'm going to change the apps from the mini-app thing? press and hold? ..??
I checked out that Wizzbar but didn't like it...
Thanks

Ok, didnt think I forgot about you did you? I think this is what your looking for. The edit function shows up when you press the mini apps button. Lower right corner, cant miss it. This is all stock icons with edit function built in. Hope this is what you wanted. I tested this on my rooted stock 6810. Let me know if it works.
PS: For anyone that might want to know how I did it. All I did was use the "layout" folder in the Res folder from the apk that has the edit function. Then rezipped, changed name and permissions, and put back into system/ app.
Awesome... Thanks for your time. I'll try it when i get home tonight. I'm thanking you now anyway...

Yes, it works, thanks... But what I didn't expect is that you can't add any app you want, it's just limited to some samsung "mini" apps which really su**s!
I wonder if there's a way around that...
Thanks again I really appreciate it anyway.

Yea. Thats why I dont even use it. I use "honeybar" and hide the bar in games, movies, etc.
Hey guys how are you all?? ... hope you are fine..
hey i need to know if is there any app which can launch others app's activities... i had recently installed CM9 on my defy+ and i found the lock screen options has a very amaizng cool option which can lunch any app from any of its activities.... so i can start for example facebook directly from my profile view activity... is there anyway to run such activities directly from a console.. comand line or any app which does the same out of CM9???
thnks it would be very cool :victory:
Questions go in the Q&A section
What do you mean by "console"? A Terminal?
Anyway, I have Apex launcher on my device and there it's possible to place shortcuts to specific activities on homescreen.
E.g. I have a shortcut pointing directly to the tethering settings activity.

Hm I don't think that this is possible (but you simply gonna try that)... for me it's more like a 'shortcut' to save you time that you normally spend tapping on your screen.
I've been using my rooted nook simple touch glow for a week and have been pretty happy with it, but need to install either pocket or instapaper which are only on google play. I tried readability but it crashes on startup.
Anyone know if it's possible to install google play on the NTG running 1.1.5?
Is there any other manual way to install a google play app? I know how to install via adb, but no idea where to download the apk for an app I purchase.
If you install from this guide, at the end it shows how to enable the market / play:

Note that you cannot search the market from the rooted Nook for some reason. But there is an application that you can install to search the market. See here:

I have similar problem on accessing market place, it's stated should wait for one day, it's been over a few days now problem doesnt resolve by itselt. In fact you tube ceased to work now, it was okay when I first rooted it.
Did you do steps #4 and #5 in this guide?

Thanks for this. I thought of uninstall and reinstalling google apps and unfortunately deleted youtube altogether both the apk and reinstalled software. So I did a soft un-root again and it seems now it worked (after I had done step 4 & 5 as per your message).
Now I have market app that works, search function does not work. I will probably installed vending apk or did step 4 and 5 againg ( I think I spent more time fixing Nook touch than actually using it).
Btw, anyone knows how to make the side options on the right to appear (where one can choose home or adw launcher). For some reason it has disappearred. How do I get back from nook home reading screen to adw launcher now??

I doubt that you'll get the marketplace search working, it is a known issue. Use the alternative search application mentioned in the article.

That is the magic buttons application it needs to be running to get the buttons. Note that when the application is running but the menu is collapsed, that it is _very_ difficult at first to find and open it. Look closely at the middle of the right edge of the screen. There should be a very faint icon there. If so, then try to press the side of the _plastic_case_ where it meets the screen by jamming your fnger right between them, as if you are trying to pry the plastic case off. That is how I hit that button!
Once you have found button savior and are back in the ADW launcher, be sure to give @jeff_kz's NookTouchMods a try. You will be able to remap one of your quicknav buttons or the 'n' long press to take you back to ADW launcher - much better than button savior!

Kayaker, I've looked at these mods before, but I see no canonical information explaining exactly how to modify and install the mods. Is there some thread explaining this that I've been unable to find?
Thanks!

Thanks. Actually I had seen the thread but it looks like they are referring to things previously discussed, which I could not find. Perhaps I just need to download the files and play around, it might all become obvious. I am new to rooting and to the Nook, so I am a bit apprehensive to start diving in.
Just wondering if there is a way to get Google now on tap back on Google assistant Roms. Seems like they all have Google assistant now. I kind of liked GN on tap. Googling didn't come up with any answers.
Never mind I figured it out.
How'd you do it?

My Google app has updated, and now this doesn't work. Anyone know of any other way to switch off assistant and get the search bar back on long press of home?
I am really not interested in talking to my phone, or having it talk to me!

Hello...
Maybe I have a workaround. Go in Google play. Since your Google app updated itself, you have auto update apps in settings... Open Google app in "my apps and games" , click on the 3 dot menu on the top right corner and deselect "auto update" (see screenshot attached)
After that, you can go in: settings > apps > Google app >
Here you can tap on disable. Click "disable app" and on the second prompt "ok". It will reinitialize the app to the factory version.
Finally, you can go on https://apkmirror.com : http://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Google+app
And download an older Google app version of your choice. You need to enable "unknown source" in settings > security to be able to install it... :good:
Good luck...

I'm in the UK.. Got it last week. Have been trying ever since to get rid of it!
Short of rolling back the Google app version, the best I've found is using this app:

Hey,
This is likely the only way to do it properly. Let us know if you find a way without installing third party app.
Good luck...
