Hi all
When you unlock the phone and you have the "task bar" on the button....if I long press the button on the right ( I htink it is the search button) I get a long message. It does not do anything.....I do go into rosie settings and try to select an app for it...but it still doesn't work. Please let me know wht I am doing wrong....
THANKS!!!!
What button are you pressing (touchscreen or capacitive)? What is the message that it is giving you?
Sounds like capacitative just for the fact if you long press on the dock it wouldn't do search. Weird error none the less.

When I try to click on the navigation ring to go left or right, it always seems like I click on the phone button or the hang up button instead of navigating right or left. Am I doing something wrong?
outside the "ring"

I had the same problem (and don't like the nav much actually). You need to press completely outside the circle. If your finger is pressing inside you will be pressing that center button down, not navigating left/right/up/down as desired.
Once you start doing it, it gets easier.
same here. it's like learning to click the "x" button now instead of hitting "ok" on the ol' mogul. just takes getting used to. I've found ways around using this (like using the touch circle thingy in calendar to go fwd/back a day instead of using left/right nav)
OK button
I really miss the OK button. A lot!
OK button missing
At first, I remapped the PTT button, b/c I too missed the ok button.
But I read on a forum that most of the time pushing the end call button does the same thing, and I'll be darned if it doesn't work like ok. Granted the app minimizes, but atleast it closes.

The back button works like OK most of the time as well.
For the OP, do not press the ring AT ALL to navigate. The buttons are outside the ring completely.
Can it be done?
I formatted my book and set it up again but the d pad is on and it never was before.
The only way i have found is to press and hold on the popper. This will make it go away until you press and hold the popper again. Have not found a more permanant solution yet.
You might try disabling the virtual home button - and hence the d-pad thing - and let it pop up on double clicking the 'n' button from settings.
What exactly is the Popper?

I don't see a setting to "disable" the virtual home button.

I am not able to post links (lurker for years with no posts). Try the following url in your address bar for an explanation - from nookdevs site:
nookdevs.com / NookColor_Default_Launcher
just remove spaces and should be good to go. Hope that helps.
The popper is the floating circle that you press to bring up the softkeys when they are hidden.
If you have not already give the status bar hack a try over in the development forum. Its much better than the soft keys in my opinion

I need to investigate.
All i did was turn up all the way the transparency, under softkey service in the softkey options.
as long as their not assigned to anythign then it shouldnt matter if you touch in that area
Not sure if you guys are aware, but if you keep the menu button pressed for a couple of seconds it becomes a search button?

I'm aware of this, just when I tried out pressing the buttons haha
But I've read this once, cause it works the same way in SGS I as far as I can remember
Awesome! Thanks!
Does that mean however there will be no "one button" way to get to voice search?

Double clicking the home button opens Samsung's voice control app.
i would like a search app equivalent (as in my atrix when i am in applications section i can press search button and i can search witin my own installed apps)
i see no equivalent for this on the galaxy, am i missing something?
but how can I add an installed app to the researchable item list of "Google search"?

I can play games just fine, but how do quit the game and play another. I currently reboot to change games. Thanks.

I think I had the same issue when I first used N64oid. N64oid has "stretch to fit screen" enabled by default. This makes it so that you do not see the status bar (with the necessary menu button on it) during rom play.
I fixed this by starting N64oid anew. You should be at the "select rom" screen. Before loading anything, select the "menu" button. Then select "settings", then "audio & video settings", then uncheck the "stretch to fit screen" box under the video settings. Exit out to the "select rom" screen.
Load your rom. Now you should have access to the status bar with the menu button while in gameplay. To exit out of roms just select "menu, then "more", then "close". Hope that works for you like it did me.
Get "button savior". It will put an unobtrusive overlay on the screen which provides back functionality if you're rooted.

I've also found that in certain games (Angry Birds Seasons for one) that the "N" button works as a back button so I can access the game menus and then I can select "quit". I haven't tried on other games yet but thought I'd throw this out there....

This. I can't say how happy I've been now that I can actually open up menus and go back when the status bar decides to hide those soft buttons, or when an app goes full screen.
I had the problem of not being able to get Terminal Emulator out of white-on-blue text... it was hideous...

I tried the button savior but still cannot exit rom to choose another rom. Did I just miss something?

When you hit the back button on Button Savior what does it do? Shouldn't that exit the current emulation, and allow you to choose another ROM?
Or rather, better: what exactly are you trying with button savior, and what are you getting? Clicking on the back button results in N64roid doing nothing? Or?
It took me awhile to figure out how to use Button Savior until I realized that there was a tiny little translucent trigger-arrow-button to open up the button tray... I don't know what your noob level is though. (That's why I presented my top-level noob experience for you.)

When I hit the back button it does nothing. All other button do not help with this problem. But have enjoyed the button savior app. It is very useful.

Button Savior did not not work in N64oid for me at first either. But after the suggestion to use it in this thread, I went back and was able to get it to work.
The key for me was clicking the menu button (the one with 4 squares in a 2x2 configuration) in Button Savior TWICE. The first time I click the button I get a message that says Button Savior has been granted Super User permissions. The second time I click the menu button I get the options for that menu, like I would if I used the menu button in the Nook status bar.
I think if you are not getting these options then Button Savior may not be functioning properly for you. Maybe reinstall it? Or maybe install another version of it to see if that helps? Good luck!
Button savior has a quirk. After a reboot, *before* you use button savior at all, you must re-enable usb debugging. Use anycut to create a shortcut for "application settings", click development, enable usb debug.
This assumes that your nook is rooted, otherwise only the home key will ever work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled and that fixed my eyes. I noticed the close button (very hard to read) so now i can pick another game. Sorry for wasting everyones time.
How do I access it? I read you hit the home button twice but that doesn't work for me.

Should be in your apps drawer. Once you access it, hit settings if you want and you can make it activate from the home button presses.
Long press the menu key to activate Google Now though - better than S-Voice in my opinion
Not sure why I didn't see it before, thank you.
