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.
I just recently re-flashed Android 4.3 onto my Nexus 10, rooted it, then used TitaniumBackup to restore all my app data. Now I've rebooted and parts of the interface won't load / won't work.
The Home button doesn't work anymore, only the back and task-switcher buttons are working.
In the top toolbar, I can slide down the notifications, but none are displayed. The Alarm, Wifi, Battery, and Time is displayed in the top-right like normal, But I can't slide down the quick-settings.
Also, When I long-press the power button, I'm only given the option to Power off, nothing else.
One more thing: The lock-screen isn't ever shown!
Is there an easy way I can fix this? I'm guessing it has something to do with wiping the data & cache of some app, but I don't know which one.

Did you also restore all of your system app data? In general, that would be a big nono (and you could use Titanium's filters to clear data only from system apps). Not a great situation though either way.

OK. I thought I did filter out the system apps. I might have missed something. I'll try and clear the data from the system apps and see if that helps any. I'll just write this as I go...
I've opened TitaniumBackup, and it said that my Android ID had changed?
I told it to use the old ID... And now it's rebooting...
Now I've wiped the system-app data and am rebooting...
Didn't help any. Same problem still.
Update
Update:
I've given up and just did a factory reset last night. Now I'm restoring my adb backup. ('Cause for some reason my TitaniumBackup in Google Drive got erased!?) Oh well. Anyways, things seem to be working properly now.
Hello everyone!
First, I'm sorry for my English. I'll try to do my best to be clear and not too painful to read.
I post here tonight because my Moto X XT1562 is very messy. It's totally buggy actually.
The WHAT:
Some functionalities just disappeared. Here is some:
- Notifications aren't displayed at all. The notification bar stay empty, even when I swipe it down. Notification sounds are OK however.
- The quick settings panel isn't displayed... When I swipe down the right side of the top bar, there is only the notification bar who appear (empty...) like if I swiped down the left side. Nothing happens neither with a Nova widget for example to launch the activity corresponding to the quick settings panel.
- The Home button and the Menu app button do not works. When I touch them, they respond (they are circled by a halo and the phone vibrate) but don't produce anything.
- Some entries are missing in Settings like the entry to configure the quick setting panel. Also, some entries are displayed but when I touch them nothing happens, like the "Users" entry. Moreover, in "Backup & Reset > Factory data Reset" the "Reset Phone" button stay grey (unavailable).
- The "Developers options" menu isn't available neither. In this case, I had a toast with something like: "Developers options are not available for this user". In my actual configuration (spoiler: aka after flashing a new ROM), I can't activate the developers options at all.
- Probably other things but I'm not sure it matter. Apps work great however, even if there are now some force close. And just to be clear: it's not a touch screen issue.
So my phone is still usable, but it's not handy at all. Specially the fact that I can't go on the Home screen with the home button or switch between opened apps with the app button.
The WHEN:
These is happens after I try to move data that were on the sdcard in the internal storage through the built in tool in the storage settings. In fact, my sdcard (used like "internal storage") was almost full and my true internal storage with some space. I knew all my sdcard data could not go on my internal storage, but I thought Android could deal with that and will only transfer a part of these data. BUMMER. Anyway, during the process the phone had reboot and then the mess happens: internal storage was overfull, sdcard still full too, duplicate data were on both, etc. And of course, the previous bugs came. I deleted data manually (primarily pictures) and used the phone a couple of days like this.
Just so you know and because I suspect an perm issue, I have to add that a couple days before this episode, I also tried to create a second android user through the Users setting. But nothing happens after the asked reboot. I didn't insist.
The WHAT-THE-****:
- First, I was suspecting that the last boot didn't work properly because the internal storage was full. So after I made some space on the device I rebooted: nothing.
- After I delete all my pictures on the sdcard, I launch the data migration process to give it a new chance to finish properly. It did, but... nothing.
- I tried to wipe dalvik cache and the regular cache through TWRP: nothing.
- Like I suspected a permission issue, I tried to "Fix Contexts" with TWRP. Nooooothing.
- Very confident, I tried a factory reset through the Android settings but it was unavailable. So I did it in the bootloader. But... NOTHING!
- Well, I decided to flash again my ROM (XDRom) but I chose the last build to upgrade it. Flashing a new ROM replace most of the files so that MUST work. Guess what? Nothing!!
- Desperate, I tried to flash/upgrade the squid kernel. But No-****ing-thing... :crying:
I have no idea how it's possible. So if someone has encountered something similar or knows how that can happen, please, tell me.
I'm using TWRP, Squid Kernel r19 and the ROM XDR 24.107-52-5 (Android 6.0.1). Right now, my phone isn't rooted but it was when it happened. I was also using Xposed with Gravitybox and XBlastTools.
Thanks to everybody!

when everything else failed, use rsdlite and flash stock rom.

If you're using XDrom you need to root it and use XDRsetup app that comes with it (you can also download it separately, link is in XDR'S thread). This will fix all your issues
Your phone is not provisioned. You can fix this by re-running the setup wizard activity using Activity Launcher.
I've been seeing this issue pop up on several Moto devices since last few months, even on my own device.
EDIT: XDROM thread mentions this on the thread clearly
Use XDR Setup app after first boot to provision the device (unlock UI, Developer's options, screen lock, etc.)

Well, thanks so much everybody. Sorry for my late answer. You're right, my phone wasn't "provisioned". I wasn't aware at all about this not-a-bug-but-a-feature. It sounds still strange for me and it's surprising that this "issue" appears by itself but whatever, it's fix. Thanks again!
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.
Settings, ,,, apps & games,,,,,manage all applications, ,,, Running ,,,, press the three dots on top of the screen to show cached processes. Open SHOW CACHED PROCESSES, ,,,,,select Home Pages icon,,,,, select STOP... GO TO HOME PAGE AND IT IS FIXED
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"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.
huge thanks for that.

Thanks! I had the same issue today, and I did the above steps twice for it to take hold. All fixed now! :good:
This was driving me nuts. This is the solution! No way I would've found it on my own if I had a million years. Thanks!
Cant uninstall app, this app has no icon its just blank. Theres a blank slot in the device administrators as well it can be checked and unchecked but has no information about it. Just blank if anyone can help it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
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....
I wanted to share this with everyone in hopes that my solutions helps at least one person.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. A few apps I use require Draw over other apps to be turned on. One of those apps is Keeper Security, which needs permission to Draw over other apps so that its Keeper Fill feature can read the screen and go find my username/password for that website/app I am trying to login to. Since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. Even though I had enabled Draw over other apps for the app already, it kept notifying me that I needed to turn it on. After some random setting changes of turning the draw over apps setting ON/OFF, along with the Keeper Fill setting from within the source app that needs this permission, I could eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100 in this post. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!
