There's an internal app you can use. Just press and hold the "Home button" (the one marked O ), and you'll get the option to the far right to take a screenshot. Don't forget to tap "Save" after you made one!

Hulu

I have hulu in my sky raider 2.5.2 rom but it wont work. Do i have to do something special? The app opens but when i click a video i just the the lego saying i dont have flash or i though thats what it means. How do i fix this?
Read the OP.
You have to go into your sd card and look for the skyraider folder. Enclosed is the install flash file you need.
Sent from my HTC Incredible «•»Rooted/S-off/Skyraider 2.5.2 Vanilla«•» http://www.unrevoked.com/forever
What is a OP lol? I have searched the fourms for another HULU app thread but cant find any. Since it sounds like there is a thread out there and i cant seem to find it does anyone have a link? I found the file inside the skyraider folder but I cant open it i cant flash it, what am I suppose to do with it? And if this is something that needs pushed with someone please for the love of god direct me to a thread that will explain and teach me how to do that. I feel silly everytime I have to ask how to do it, I use a mac and everything i find talks about a PC. I have just had to copy exact line commands when i end up wanting to push items.
You need to install the modified adobe flash apk to watch hulu in the app.

I have SDK but i cant seem to get anyone to point me in the direction of a thread that teaches you the commands to push things like apk's
If you want to remove the stock flash, flash this from recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?evi93q9t1fgya3z
Then install the hacked flash .apk
Thanks to scuccia for providing the .zip a while back.

Thank you for the advice BUT I still dont understand installing a .apk. I need to be directed to a thread that will explain this for a Mac user I have SDK i just dont understand the command lines. Help please?
Huh? You don't need to use your mac...
Run the zip I gave you, that gets rid of the original flash. Reboot. Then just run the hacked flash via astro or whatever file manager you use.

O kick ass thanks man!
that did not work for me at first....then I followed the below instruction and everything worked
Here is a temporary resolution for the Hulu problem.
1. Open your stock browser and let your home page load.
2. Erase everything in the address bar and type "about:debug" and press return (note: nothing will appear to have happened; that's good.)
3. Press Menu and select Settings.
4. Scroll all the way to near the bottom and select UAString and change it to Desktop.
5. Press Back to exit Settings.
6. Clear the address bar and type this address into it: "http://www.hulu.com/widget/player/videos" and press Enter
7. You may have to adjust the zoom to get it larger.
8. This is just like the Hulu app, but you can change your orientation to landscape by tilting your phone. Then pinch and zoom to get the video to fill the screen, but do not tap and hold the video to make it full screen.

original settings.apk

I add original apk from android 2.1 to my nook, but i doesn't work. I now can't enter to setting page, wifi atc... Please if some one would be angel, and send me the true original settings.apk from Nook touch. Thanks.
Go to the B&N webpage for the 1.1.2 update: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175/
Download nook_1_1_2_update.zip.
It is a signed ZIP file, you can open it with 7zip, http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
(Windows can't open this directly without stripping the signature.)
Get whatever you like out of /system/app
If you aren't up to 1.1.2 yet, just do the manual update and it will fix things.
(Except that you may have to re-root.)
Thank. I try this before, but this signed zip archive get me
Install 7zip, thak to CrossOver (MAC). Extracted settings.apk. And everything work perfect. Thank you Renate!
Thread moved to general, based on the fact it's not a : mod/kernel/rom.
I write it works, but only procedure to get apk from update to phone. Settings app dont work, I can't see a icon in menu (but don't know there must to be), anyway i run setting from B&N bottom bar, nothing run. I can't event add widgets because context menu don't show. Please has some one any idea?
If you are running 1.1.2 and you put the Settings.apk out of nook_1_1_2_update.zip in, then it's the right one.
Settings.apk 971,804 bytes
Did you put it in the right place? Does it have the right permissions?
Did you kill SettingsProvider.apk too?
What does logcat say when it bombs? Give us a hint.
Yes, I have same size Settings.apk. I put it to /system/app/, permission set to rw-r--r-- .
I touch only setting.apk -SettingsProvider.apk is the same.
When I click on top bar (wifi/battery icon) restart nook, when I click on bottom B&N bar nothing shows.
Sorry i dont have terminal, and wifi home, at this time. I don't know what try...
When you click on the top bar you start: com.android.settings/.Settings_Quick
Have you tried Settings in the app drawer?
When you click on the settings icon in the app drawer you start: com.android.settings/.Settings_Root
Does everything else work?
Top bar -Quick setting (restart) -not work
Bott.bar -B&N settings button (nothing) - not work
Add widgets (nothing)-not work
NookColor Tools -All settings (No applications can perform this action)-not work
App drawer (No settings icon) - not work
Activity picker (no settings option) - not work
I try this posible accesses with and without setting.apk in /SYSTEM/APP but same result. -there is no diference if I have app or if not. I try install app "clasical" way, but I got -this app replace another existing app, after I move next app failed to install.
Why I get message (this app replace another existing app) if I don't have in my system nothing touches settings.apk?

Google Play Apps

Hey guys. So I managed to root my Kindle Fire version 7.2.3. I Installed the Android Market and upgraded to Google Play Store. I started downloading apps, like Firefox and Opera, games, etc. Now, when I go to the apps menu on my Kindle, I only see the apps downloaded from the Amazon appstore... Opera, Firefox and the other games are nowhere to be seen... If I drag down the settings, I can see in my notifications that the apps were installed, and I can launch them from there, but that's it.. I can also launch them from ES FIle Explorer, but that's annoying... How can I make it so that all the content downloaded from the gplay store appears in the app section of my kindle?
Install a different launcher like Apex, Go Launcher, Nova etc. It will then look and feel like a normal android device, and you will see all your apps.

Thanks for replying. Sorry but I'm a noob with this... I downloaded Go Launcher from the gplay store and I can't see it or launch it because of the problem I mentioned above... If I get to launch it what do I do with it?
No problem dude. Download the .apk file (google it) for Go Launcher and put in the system/app folder. If it's a .zip, rename it to .apk then reboot your Kindle and it will load upon reboot. Try it out and see what happens. Good luck.

I download the apk and put it in the system/apps folder yet I can't see it in my kindle... I don't even know what I have to do with go launcher ex.. can you be more specific? thanks
Couple things to try here. If Go Launcher is installed, you should press the home button and a dialog box should pop up asking you which launcher you want to use. Select Go Launcher. If that doesn't work, download an app from the market called Home Switcher that allows you to select which launcher you want to use. If you don't see Go Launcher in there, then it's not installed. Keep trying, you will get it.
Go Launcher EX and HD

Take the attached files, download them to your desktop.
1) Plug your Kindle into USB
2) Using Windows Explorer, move GO_Launcher_HD.apk and GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to /Kindle/Download
2) Now go to your Kindle. Open ES File Explorer go to Settings. In Settings > Other Settings is Root Settings. Select Root Settings, check all options.
3) Be sure to "Allow" Root
4) Now using ES File Explorer move /sdcard/GO_Launcher_HD.apk to /system/app/GO_Launcher_HD.apk and move /sdcard/GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to /system/app/GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk - Install both apk's
5) Change the permissions (by long pressing each apk) on GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk and GO_Launcher_EX_3_19_1.apk to User: Read Write Group: Read Others: Read
6) Reboot the Kindle. When it reboots you should see "Kindle is upgrading", then you will be given the option to select a Launcher: Home (Stock Kindle Launcher), Go Launcher EX, or Go Launcher HD
Try them both, see which one you like, then when you are ready, click on the "Home" button to make one of them your new "Default" launcher.

No problem, go into the Apps container where all the apps are stored, scroll through then until you see "Home". Click on "Home" (Not the picture of the house) and wala, you are back to the old Kindle menu allowing you to access all your old /new goodies.
When you are done, click on the picture of the house and you can get back to Go Launcher.
If you install Google Music this app automatically will sync with the Amazon Music. Maybe the next Play Movies will sync with Amazon Movies, only time will tell.

It is the way MM marks the SDCard, if your using ES File Explorer you could try renaming it, Tap the menu icon ( 3 bars top left) then Local > Device scroll down to Storage and tap that, once in the folder long press on the folder you want to rename, tap icon that look like an I (next to the delete icon) and the Rename option will pop up.
No idea if it will still work properly as I have no need to change mine, up to you if you want to try it though.

How to Get Downloads App to show.

There's a downloads app (system app) yet it doesn't seem to show up as an icon, with the Google Nexus and Huawei Mate 20 Pro, I could access this app and see files that have been downloaded.
In the download folder it's empty. Yet if I go to attach a file in gmail there are files in the download folder.
Both Google Photos and Gallery don't show the images stored in this folder either. There's also no files in Google chrome downloads.
So how do you clean out what's in there if you can't access it.

You are correct. Weird as that's been part of android for some time. Lucky solid Explorer for me. Though weird nonetheless. Maybe we can create a shortcut for it through Nova
I did and once created when I tap on it I get permission denied. Methinks Samsung wants us to use their file manager
Yes it's weird, You're rigt solid explorer seems to work. I'll just use this as my default file manager, solid can connect to my computer too which is a bonus.
