After some hassles, finally I have a rooted NST, and figured out how to add apps using adb wireless. All works well, but I have two minor problems:
The first is I have much difficulty scrolling through my apps. When I try to scroll, usually the screen blurs and stays with showing the same apps. Sometimes when this happens, a duplicate image of an app on the app page appears on the you tube page.
Why is scrolling through apps so difficult - sometimes it's ok but usually it is not? What is the best method for scrolling right or left on the app page?
The second problem is that of duplicates of apps on my you tube screen after trying to scroll - I'd like to delete them from this screen and leave a pristine you tube page, or at least replace a few with selected apps - right now I have several duplicates of the market app on this page. How to do this?
You have to flick faster to change launcher screens. Flicking slightly only scrolls the screen to the right or the left.
Hold down the app icon and then select remove, or drag to move it to other launcher screens.
tehriddler,
Thanks. I'll use these techniques to work faster with the Nook.
On the phone UI, if I tap the thumbnail, a menu appears asking to delete. I can't find the equivalent action in the tablet UI of the Youtube app. Anyone know?
This seems like a very dumb question, but I can't figure out how to hide the progress bar while playing any local video using the included (stock) Samsung video player app.
I'm rooted, but stock (except for the hotspot mod)
Navigate to gallery, and tap on any video that is stored locally on my sd card (or on internal storage). If I don't touch the screen, everything is fine - video plays beautifully. If I tap on the screen to pause the video, or to drag the slider back/forward (to rewind/fast forward), the progress bar (I think that is what it is called) comes up, and works perfectly. When I un-pause it (or am done rewinding/forwarding), the progress bar doesn't auto-hide (even after a minute or two).
If I change screen orientation (landscape to portrait, or vice versa), the progress bar goes away - but it is kinda stupid to have to do that just to make the progress bar go away.
I checked the settings, and don't see an option to make it auto-hide after 'x' seconds. I can't drag that progress bar down or do anything with it. I find it hard to believe that this is normal behavior (and that nobody else has complained about it), so I hope I'm overlooking something simple.
Bump - anyone?
I have exactly the same problem! I looked on youtube and notice all you have to do is tap the screen and the progress should hide, but it doesn't do it on my phone!
Have you noticed the same thing with the photo gallery also? I mean, the top bar where you can do edits and the bottom where you can scroll to see other pictures...I just can't seem to get rid or hide them!
Any thoughts anyone?

Now that you mention it, yes, I have the same thing on the photo gallery. I hope this is not "normal" behavior...
Interesting, I'm trying all sorts of things, like restarting, uninstalling some apps and such...I don't seem to be able to find the solution!
any other ideas? Its frustrating how I have to rotate and then rotate it back again in video mode to get rid of the progress bar...it just looks silly.
Everyone else Galaxies: they just tap the screen and everything just hides...even in the photo gallery. If you find out anything, please let me know...and I shall do the same

Are you on MF9? (that is the latest update, and that fixed the issue for me)
Edit: You can always install the photosphere camera apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858), and that installs the google gallery app (and video player) along with it. That can play videos and display albums without the annoying progress bar blocking the view.

What are your opinions on running fullscreen apps? If I run a fullscreen app there is a little trigger at the bottom / right side of the screen, depending on the orientation. I think it is a little annoying, because sometimes I have to touch the far right side of the screen inside the app, and I accidently open to button bar instead.
How are videos handled? If you watch a video in fullscreen, do you still get the little trigger icon at the right side of the screen?
As the title suggests, the YouTube crop to fit button appears on the screen of I tap anywhere on the screen and disappears of I two the screen again. Same behavior as inside the YouTube app, only on the homescreen.
If I delete data from the YouTube app this goes away, but after awhile it reappears.
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5917720c1f69e/Screenshot_20170513-234902.png?
