Newby question on apps - Nook Color Themes and Apps

Hi, folks,
True newby with a question. I recently rooted the nook using the directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942424
Aside from a dumb user error, it worked fine and I have it up and running. I am having an issue, though, with email. I believe the email app is the stock email.apk from android 2.1. It appears to install, I have customized it and can send email just fine. The only problem is, it will not display emails in queue.
It has the account name and "inbox" on the heading bar. I hit load more messages and it says "loading messages" for about a half a second, then comes back to "Load more messages".
I am running a new nook color, rooted Sunday, with an 8gb microSD. Almost looks like a permissions issue.
Any ideas? I thought about reinstalling... can anyone tell me how to get to the cmd line on this beast?
If there is a good tutorial or newby thread on this site, please give me the pointer. I hate to bother folks with newby questions, but after about half an hour of searching for answers, it is about all I have left.
Please?
Regards,
Jim

There are apparently goofy issues with the gmail app on the stock (rooted) ROM. It will crash if you try to delete a message that has been read. But if you mark it unread and then delete it, it works fine.

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?
same here 23 mb on start up - with app. s2u2, GPS, TomTom, call calendar, s2p,and more .....
runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?

[Q] My Facebook Picture in Text Message No Showing?

Hi Guys, I have installed the Floyo Rom and have everything setup fine. I was using ChocolateEclair 2.0 before and it worked.
In all my text messages I have my friends Facebook pics but not mine. This was working in ChocolateEclair 2.0. Even WhatApps had their Facebook pics. But this is not working with Floyo. I like Floyo as it is the fastest one I have tried (so far). But it is annoying that I can't see my picture in the Text Messages section. Does someone know why. I have searched and searched for an answer but couldn't find an answer.
Oh and is there an app that can restore all my apps from the market after a complete wipe. I would like to try other ROMs but just installing all the apps I use is a pain. Especially if you have 15 apps to restore. I would like to try a few out for a few weeks before I settle with one. But to restore 15-20 apps every time is a pain.
Just a guess, but Choclate eclair had facebook for sense installed. And you had the sense contact list. There was a defined "me" contact. In floyo you havnt defined it . In floyo I dont think there is such an option. (im having a look and if i find anything ill post it here)
Hi nijnvy, yes you are right. I do remember seeing a Me contact at the top of all my contacts. Do you think adding a Me contact would work?
EDIT:
That didn't work

automatically resend failed SMS?

A family member has an android phone, and bad signal where they live, so a lot of outgoing SMS messages end up failing.
To my dismay I find out, basic functionality like, continuing to retry, like my old motorola did 10 years ago, isn't included in Android!
I searched and searched for an app to correct this, but I could only find ONE and it was paid and only had a handful of reviews so I don't really want to recommend it.
Surely other people have this problem, there should be more choices, shouldn't there?
Can anyone point out some apps to get around this?
thanks
I also live in a poor signal area and suffer this problem. It's annoying having to go back to the message, click on it etc to re-send. Like you I can't believe there isn't a simple app to do this, or rather it should be built-in. I have a HTC Legend. It's my first Android, and the first phone I've ever had that doesn't re-send failed messages.
Are there any apps that let you manually resent an SMS that failed?
Edit: I found that Go SMS Pro did.
I also saw a couple that claimed to automatically resend but I can't remember the names. You should search the market again.
I've found an app that does this:
CrowdSMS
That proves it can be done, but the app is mostly useless: it doesn't replace your stock SMS app because it doesn't display or show replies. All it does it send texts, then you have to go back to your standard app to read any replies. It sucks. The amount of timewasting and frustration I've experienced because android wont do this automatically is bonkers.
Galaxy S8/Others -Resend Messages - Frustratingly..... EASY !
It's so ridiculously simple, yet so frustratingly difficult to figure out ! ! !
Instead of holding your finger on the MESSAGE that failed, hold your finger on the EXCLAMATION MARK ! ! !
Then the "Resend" option magically appears.
Pulled my hair out for several hours until figuring it out !!!
:silly:
Have fun, everybody!

[Q] Gmail notification fast on receive, "slow" on read messages

Hi, everybody
I'm quite new in here, even if I read this forum a lot.
I just installed the ROM MiniCM7 Pro (v18) on my X10 mini pro, and I absolutely love it!
Now, I have an issue with GMail, I never faced before: when I receive a new mail, the notification is immediate (faster in the phone than in the web). Then, I read the message via web, and the notification in the phone doesn't disappear: it still continues blinking the led for (at least) one minute...
I read somewhere in here that the solution is removing the data for GMail and "GMail Storage", but I don't have any "GMail Storage" in the app list: maybe this is the issue?
Note that I installed the GMail app from the market (rel. 2.3.5.2) since this is not provided in the ROM...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Marco
Set whether to recommend you to restore or re-flash the ROM to see if it will be back to normal!!
Thank you for your reply. Actually, I read in the ROM thread that this ROM has to be installed with CWM 4.x (provided).
So, I reinstalled, and the problem (seems) gone.

[Q] Texting Issue

I believe this is my first post here, but I've been a long time lurker and hopefully you guys can help me out!
Whenever I get a new text, I get the popup/quick reply box on the home screen. If I close that box and then go into Handcent (does this also with stock app) the message doesn't show up in there. Was working fine this morning then after a few hours it started doing this. Don't know what could have changed.
Went ahead and did a factory reset. Got a new message and it showed up in the app after closing quick reply. Got another text one from same person, closed quick reply, went into app and message was gone.
Non-rooted Verizon Galaxy S4. Have had it about a month, never dropped or abused.
Thank You in advance for any help.
Thinking it may just be an issue with handcent. Deleted it and stock app started working fine. Reinstalled handcent and things started screwing up again.
Thought I'd just give an update.
