Accidently messed up lockscreen... Please help! - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a nook Color running cm7.2 and using the ADW launcher.
Earlier I downloaded an app that allows me to have an iOS type lockscreen after I unlock the primary lockscreen. I set up quick unlock where you use the home button to unlock the tablet, but it doesn't recognize the Nook button as the home button when it is.
Now I can't unlock my tablet.
Oops.
Is there any way to reset the lock screen or somehow fix this without formatting the card?
Thanks.

If it's a free app you could adb to /data/app and rename the offending lock screen apk. Just add ".bak" (without quotes) to the end of the filename. You may have to reboot it but the app should be gone after that.
If you at running CM entirely of the SD card you should be able to browse to it with the card plugged into a computer and rename the file there.

Thanks for your reply, but that's not exactly the problem I'm having.
The problem I'm having is that I set up quick unlock so it would unlock when I hit the home button. The nook doesn't recognize the Nook button on the tablet as home button. I don't have the home button set up on the screen as a soft button.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry I misunderstood.
You might have a look at this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971768. If it is the home key you have as the quick unlock it should be keyevent 3 instead of 82 in the command.
Hope it works, good luck.

No problem! Thanks for your help! Il

Is there an easier way??
Would there be a way to reinstall the OS, like in an update?

Could I do that, but with CM7? I run CM from an SD card, so my NC isn't rooted.

I thought you were talking about stock.
You need to go to my tips thread and install the alternate CWM for SD in section B in the second post. Then use that to do a factory reset. That should remove the unlock.

To reinstall, would I just copy and paste the .zip into the boot partition of the SD?

[Q] The correct order of things to updrade the phone?

So I'm confused; what is the correct order to start upgrading your Huawei u8800? Which is the thing to start with? From what i gathered, the first thing is to do a backup and the best way to do it is with Clockworkmod, but when i check CWM page here on XDA, it says root requiered. Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800 says that i can root the phone with Super Boot, so should i just go with that and worry about backup later? What if i screw my phone up and don't have a backup? Then is the part of selecting a proper ROM, and i think that i'm interested in the most stable one, so wich one i should go with (oh, and a circular battery with a presentage would be nice) custom or just a firmware update? And the Re-Partition mentioned in MoDaCos Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800, does it also require a root?
Sorry for the n00b questions, but well, i am one.
I would recommend upgrading to stock ROMs first, but in order to install a custom ROM, you need both root and recovery mod. These 2 functions are being are done from the "shadow" memory, using 2 img files (boot.img and recovery.img).
To access that memory and replace the 2 files follow these steps:
1) Download the boot file and rename it to boot.img ( should be "boot.u8800-modaco-superboot-r1") from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...nd-then-some-for-the-huawei-u8800-ideos-x5/om here the zip file (rename if not called that recovery.img).
2) Download and extract the recovery file (extract.zip) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348
3) Turn off your phone and unplug the usb cable. Make sure you have enough battery (at least 50%).
2) Turn on your phone, holding VOL+, VOL- and POWER (should come up with pink screen, to indicate access to shadow memory)
3) Connect the usb cable and the driver should install (don't worry if it says drivers not found, the partition called "image" should still be accessible)
4) Browse your phone to find the folder with boot.img and recovery.img. Copy these 2 files somewhere on your computer, to create a backup of the original files. Now, replace both files with the ones you've downloaded.
5) Remove the battery from the phone to exit "shadow" memory.
To access the recovery mod, press VOL+ and Power, while the phone is off.
I hope this helps...
It does help, thanks! The rooting AND the recovery installation are done simultaneously. But i still have few conserns. Does this all work backwards? I mean in the case of hardware breakage - if i am giving the phone back to maintenance - can i just re-replace the original boot.img and recovery.img and thus "unroot" the phone? Previously recovering backupped data? Is the phone then as it were before whole prosidure?

Yes, replacing all things you done with stock will by default revert it to normal.
Right. One more thing, though this is a bit beside the subject. The re-partitioning, when upgraded from 600mb to 1.2G, does this actually add space for running apps or gives only more installation space?

Yes it gives both actual space for installation. Running apps will always be loaded into ram and swap.
So RAM is its own thing and separate from (ROM?) the increasable space? But what is the actual gain IN increasing it? More apps in the phone? But I've read that the phone gets all cluttered and buggy, if its full of apps. Is this the gain in re-partitioning?

Where have you read that?
The thing is huawei included a external storage(build in SD card) which had the size of 2GB, and internal storage at 600MB, with geno's partition flash you just change the partitions, the 600MB becomes external storage, and the 2GB(1.2GB data) becomes internal storage. So we gain rather than lose storage. So I have used it for now quite and not experienced any problem.
Please link me up on where you found out this cluttered and buggy thing with this ok?
I think that I accidentally misled you on this. It was some SGS(maybe) thread that I read sometime ago. The talk was about phone being laggy and probable cause that it was full of apps. So I kinda gathered that if any android phone is stuffed full of applications, it gets slow. But I guess I am wrong?

Aha, well if the phone gets sluggish is because swap and ram is being used and less free for other processes. You could make it similar to any OS. I have tried once with this phone filled it up had 6mb left wasn't sluggish at.
So if I have still 389mb phone memory left free, re-partitioning isn't really acute procedure for me?

The partition thing will work independently, only thing it does is formatting the external storage(2GB) and then moves all your data on to the 2GB internal SD and that's it. You can do this if you feel like you need lots of space for apps ok?
Yes, I understand. And since I still have lots of free space left, I think I save this for later. Thanks for explaining this to me. Oh jeah, what custom ROM would you recommend? Preferably one that has all its bugs smoothed out?

Uhm, I am really uncertain about this fact. It seems like phones from different regions have different problems with ROMs.
I would say like this, take a tour , visit different roms out and try out them for yourself and see which one suits your needs and such things.

Well, the superuser application is there for applications who require root access to make changes and such thing, so if you were to use SetCPU, noAds or Titanium Backup, they will require access from superuser(root). So don't worry, it works but you need something that demands root access to see anything happen !
And yet more questions. Is there a way to upgrade the touch screen? I mean to up the number of simultaneous touches from two to more?

WidgetLocker Lockscreen by Teslacoil Software
To All-
This is now a paid application and so we are not taking from a fellow developer, here is
revised instructions:
Lock Screen Step 1: Open Google Play Store, Search for "Teslacoil Software".
Lock Screen Step 2: The search results will return about 6 choices. Choose
"WidgetLocker Lockscreen"
Lock Screen Step 3: Next, pay $2.36. Then you will be presented with an
option to "Install". Choose "Install".
Lock Screen Step 4: Next Reboot. There is an odd bug if you do not Reboot,
so immediately reboot after the install has completed.
Lock Screen Step 5: Next, open Root Explorer. Using Root Explorer, Move
com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk from /data/app to /system/app
Lock Screen Step 6: Check the permissions of com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
should be Owner: Read Write, Group: Read, Others: Read and Change
the Owner to 0-root.
Lock Screen Step 7: Reboot the Kindle, wait for the Kindle to Upgrade
Lock Screen Step 8: Launch Widget Locker and configure as needed.

Also, it has happened to me. It is really hard to keep up with the software vendors, what is

I do this constantly just to free memory. . Thanks for the tip. But that didnt do it. Did I mention the apps do not even work now. Gives error saying not installed
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
When this happens, check to see if your SD card is mounted ok or not. (launch your explorer app - ES explorer or MyFiles or whatever app you use to browse files) - and navigate to your SD card to see if you can access the files on it.
(or go to settings/storage/scroll-to-bottom and see if card is mounted)
I have a similar issue happen at start up. The icons are greyed out, but I can still access the application. What gets me is not every app moved to the SD card gets the greyed out icon. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, other than visually for me. The icons have been coming back at varying times, usually if I install a new app, or do some other moving around of things. Unmounting and mounting the card does not seem to have any affect on the icons.
I am new to android, but I figure as long as I can still use the app, it really doesn't bother me too much if the icon doesn't look flashy. I pretty much know where the shortcuts to them are, anyway.

So I was having the same problem and looking for an answer as well.... Don't know if you tried this but this is what I ended up doing. I'll assume you are on a third party ROM as well as kernel as I was. Well I simply went back to the stock ROM and kernel to fix the problem. Now on reboots there is on occasion my app icons will be grayed out but once the system scans/recognizes the sd-card they usually appear.
At this point I'm not sure if it is the ROM or the kernel, but I have a feeling it is the ROM because I seem to remember running the stock kernel and third party ROM when this started to happen and tried fixing it with a third party kernel.
Hope this helps.
BTW I'm also using a 64GB SanDisk sd
OP is on stock rom. I have the same setup and problem, stock rooted MF9 with ktoonsez and only program that this is happening is Homerun Battle 2. I had to reinstall and quickly move it to internal storage and it stayed after that.

Don't think OP mentioned which ROM, but it is definitely the kernel. Flashed 3rd party ROM with stock kernel and no problems after reboot. Flashed a ROM that included a version of the KT kernel and lost the apps. Went back to stock kernel, reinstalled the apps and redid the move and no more lost apps.

[HOWTO] Unroot, Remove TWRP, and Prepare to Sell your KFHD7"

I, as well as a few others, are going to sell our KFHD7 devices to get something better *cough* 2013 Nexus 7 *cough*. Before I leave the Kindle community, I would like to help those looking to sell the device. Keep in mind that these are very simple steps and you must have TWRP already working. (You can't really remove something that you don't have, now can you? )
You can choose to do this process entirely on your device or with the help of a computer.
First, grab Amazon's latest update file from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201016350 (You can do this on your Kindle or your computer) then rename it from WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin to WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin.zip
Next, Backup all important data. What YOU classify important data as is all up to you. This could be apps (Free apps are located in "/data/app", while premium and paid apps are in "/data/app-asec". Please note that if you copy a premium app from "/data/app-asec", you must also copy it's corresponding folder in "/data/data".), family pictures from a recent vacation (Most likely located in "/sdcard/Pictures" somewhere.), or just some hard-to-find files that work on all newer android devices. You can choose to zip all the files up and put them on Dropbox, or use your computer to "adb pull" them. If you have any questions about backing things up, leave a comment down below.
Third step: If you downloaded Amazon's update file to your computer, you can transfer it over now or wait a step or two.
Now you need to reboot into TWRP recovery. Once you get there (Shouldn't take too long now, thanks to Hashcode! ), if you downloaded the file on your computer, you can wipe your internal storage (/sdcard), system, data, dalvik cache, and cache now. If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard). To those who just wiped everything and have the file downloaded on your computer, got to the "Advanced" menu in TWRP and hit "ADB Sideload". You will need to have the proper drivers if using Windows. (Windows always has drivers issues with Android. :/)
If you need help with anything in this thread, please leave a comment down below.
Now that all that is done, reboot your tablet and you should now be 100% stock with NO ROOT, TWRP REMOVED, ALL DATA REMOVED, ALL IMPORTANT FILES BACKED UP, and YOUR KINDLE FIRE HD 7" IS READY TO SELL.

You forgot to mention, after you have completely wiped everything. After the ADB Slideload, once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.
Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?

If you have the zip on your SD card then don't wipe the internal storage until after you flash the zip. If you do, you wipe the ROM too.
If the ROM is on your computer then wipe away. Then in TWRP go to advanced and select ADB sideload, open a command prompt and type adb sideload /path/nameofyourzip.zip and the zip will begin to flash. You will see the percentage of the zip flashed on your computer screen.
I would suggest anyone wishing to sideload the ROM to confirm adb is seeing your tablet. Open command and type "ADB devices." If it remains "waiting for device" adb sideload will not work.

Well, it's a Kindle Fire HD, so no SD card, just Internal memory. I flashed the zip from internal storage, and then wiped the internal storage. Now the static Kindle Fire logo pops up.... and that's it. A bit brickish.

Okay I was unrooting my Kindle...followed the above directions to a T and then when I got to adb sideload....nothing happens....what do I do or what did I do wrong??? Trying to get Kindle back to stock...and I wiped everything because had Kindle zip on computer. :crying:

What are one of these things worth stock anyways? And what if it has twrp and all of that crap?

Thanks for this. My old kindle developed a loose charging port, and following a phone call with Amazon, I received a brand spanking new one 2 days later, with 30 days to return the faulty one (excellent service from Amazon by the way). Anyway, time is ticking by and I was thinking I would have to use KFFA to restore it back to its original state. This will save me a lot of time and hassle. Thanks.

[Q] Removing Root Troubles

Hi!
I have a Nook color and have had it rooted pretty much since I purchased it. I am pretty familar with the process, but apparently I am missing something. I feel that its something simple too...
Don't mind my noob terminology.
So I wanted to go back to stock on the Nook. Here's what I did:
-Made the CMW bootable card
-Added "nook-complete-restore-1.4.1" from cyanogenmods
-formatted system, data, cache
-installed zip
-turned it off
-removed card
-started it up
-Goes to the "Read forever" screen
-Then goes to the black screen with the Nook logo
- And stays there... -_-
Help?
