Anyone else know how to get the apps lined up without moving each one manually after un-installing one on the applications pages?
I have gaps on most pages and takes forever to move manually
I couldn't find any other way, it annoys me too.
So is there no fix to this then? Seems like it should do it automatically.
Have you tried 'TouchWiz AppSorter' from the market?
It sorts the apps in the app drawer alphabetically and removes spaces. However the phone does need to be rooted
Thanks, worked a treat

i have noticed that alot of the apps i have on my phone do not show up in the market on the nook. actually at most it only shows maybe 15-20 apps per category. i do a search for a app and it dont show up either. flash for instance does not exist in the market. anyone know why
turn the nook to landscape and more will show up. or install the new market.

I don't know why this.is happening, although I am having the same problem. I just started taking the apks from /data on my phone and loading them onto the nook and installing them that way. Its more complicated than using the market, but not a whole lot more complicated.!

irnoically turning it landscape mode worked as for showing up more apps lol. no clue why but it worked. it still wont find half the apps i have on my phone. like flash wont show up which is kind of important when using the web to its full. can you use astro to instal apps on this like you can on a phone? or is there some different procedure
There's another post in the nook forums which basically states to install "fastweb installer" and "AppBrain App Market". This worked for me and allowed me to find programs like Trillian (but at that price, @#[email protected]#$ that).
I don't think there's an overly usable flash at this point. You'll need to wait for 2.2 from B&N or the NookDevs.
The market on the NOOKcolor, even if it looks like the new market, will only show applications that conform to the Android API 7 API level (2.1 and below). FroYo apps all conform to the Android API 8, so they won't show up on your nook unless you drop FroYo onto it.

Using Root Explorer, I changed the System/App folder to R/W and was then able to upgrade the current Marketplace to the newer APK that is floating around the forums. With the new marketplace all apps are showing without needing to turn the screen to landscape.

The problem stated in this thread isn't about the ability to scroll lists in portrait or landscape, rather it is about the ability to see apps that other devices can find.
Two I have seen that immediately come to mind: searching for Firefox, and searching for Trillian (which was a rude way to find out Trillian is both out of beta and now rather expensive, dammit).
Neither will show up on the NC, but show up as the first result on my Droid.
And my NC is also running the latest iteration of Market.

Well, I know flash doesn't show up because it's not (yet) supported on NC. Maybe Firefox and Trillian don't show up for the same reason?

Are these people that are running nookie froyo, or stock 2.1?
All the apps will show up in nookie. They shouldn't in stock 2.1.
Worked on Nootered and Nookie Froyo .59 with new Market
I had the same issue and followed these insturctions from (i think) the original Nootered thread, but cant remember for sure.
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Market->Clear Cache (NOT DATA!)
then
Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> Google Services Framework -> Clear Data -> Force Close
reboot
After that SliceIt, Minimalistic Text, and others that were not available previously appear.

Works nicely, but ends up with all the foriegn language apps showing up as well. Any idea how to restrict results on the marketplace by language ?
Thanks this helped me alot! i kept forgetting to reset the Google one.... duh....
dont forget the part where its set to default to only show downloaded apps in the settings so you need to go to menu and filter and show all

Have had nothing but fun playing with the nook. Even formatting my microsd card in the nook and ending up with it not turning on for a day till I repartitioned the storage didn't make me think it was not worth the effort. Compared to a $600 Galaxy Tab the nook is a bargain and well worth all the love bestowed on it IMHO.
fyi just clearing the market cache made some apps i couldn't find before appear. so even if the google framework is non existent in some like mine clearing cache does help
Google framework is not listed on my apps list. Im trying to download games such as angry birds and rocket bunnies but they don't show up
I installed Swype on my TP yesterday and everything seemed fine, but today I keep getting the message that [bunch of asian characters] has stopped. I had no idea what it possibly could be since I don;t know what it says so I thought it might be Swype and went into Input on Settings to turn Swype off. Now, under KEYBOARD AND INPUT METHODS the first thing says Default and under it is a bunch of Asian characters. Under that is all the input methods. The interesting thing is there are two selections that are checked yet grayed out so I can't deselect them which are Japenese IME and the last one is those Asian characters. What is going on and how do I get rid of them?
OK. I went through all my Apps in Settings and at the very end is one named with Asian characters. Under the name it says version 4.0.3-eng.erik.20120221.223654. It doesn't give me the option to uninstall it, but I have disabled it. I don't download a lot of apps, and I certainly don't download shady looking apps, so where did it come from and how do I get rid of it??????
It could be something else pushed on you - some apps with the Networks and Internet permissions push random apps to your phone without you knowing it (or explicitly allowing it). My girlfriend has a music app that does it to her sometimes, and it's annoying, but not malicious (at least, not that I've seen).
I tried deleting it through Titanium but it didn't work so I decided to try installing the Nightly version of CM9 and that got rid of it completely. Still, weird!

check if the application is considered a system app

installing applications on your phone/tablet without your "permission" is the definition of malicious.
IIRC there has been some sort of Asian language keyboard in CM9/ICS for a while. I remember disabling it a while ago, not sure why its included in an English version of the OS.
Well, when I installed the Nightly build all Japanese-related input choices disappeared, so maybe they aren't included in CM9 anymore? Whatever the reason, I am happy it is solved.

It was considered a system app to Titanium, and to the phone as well, I guess. Titanium said it would do some special thing and the phone would reboot twice and it would be gone. Well, when it was finished doing its thing the app was still there. I think I tried using Titanium to remove the stock Music app that came with the phone and it didn't work right then, either. I can't remember how I got rid of that, but I eventually did.
Hopefully someone could steer me in the right direction
I'm in the process of recovering after updating to the latest ROM/firmware using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149095
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far, except I'm having trouble de-bloating. Being a n00b, I remember being able to uninstall just about any app I wished to delete after finishing the dirty work of rooting and such directly in the operating system (drag the shortcut to the uninstall label at the top of the screen). I cannot remember how exactly I got to that point...I've tried running a script I found to auto de-bloat while in the bootloader, no luck.
Also, my apps do not seem to be auto downloading again as they had after I went through the rooting process a month ago. Having the phone re-install apps, and even properly replace their shortcuts was quite nice ...any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks in advance.
Settings -> Apps -> All, tap an app, choose disable.
I do remember you could just drag a shortcut right from the app drawer to the "info" and then disable. But it doesn't work now, maybe after update...

Thanks for the reply! I've disabled many of the apps, too bad they're not truly uninstalled though. I do know before the update, I was able to uninstall most Verizon apps using the app drawer (all but voicemail which was still protected for good reasons). But now, I can't seem to do that anymore. Ill try installing bloatware remover v3, still can't remember what exactly allowed me to directly uninstall the apps. Maybe its just the update that's causing this.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. It was the Bloatware Remover v3 that allowed me to do this. Thanks for the feedback though!
Maybe the apps aren't auto recovering due to this being a new version of the rom. Apps are treating my phone as if it's new, even though I'm connected to my Google account.

Best bet would be to remove any apps you didnt get from the market or here. Any other apps found on other site contain this ads as well as worse things like keyloggers and software to upload all info to private servers.
Install this and start turning notifications off until you stop receiving the spam... Simple?

That doesn't solve the issue or protect against what else the app might be doing.

Just delete the app itself? If the problem persists you may have to re flash stock rom (risky) if its really that much of a problem.

First, what is app trash? Never heard of it. On Google Play, I see some silly app uninstaller called Trash for Apps. Is that what you are talking about? This is nothing that comes with LG phones.
Second, if you uninstall any app, it's gone. What is it you want to see after you uninstall an app? I don't understand. Do you NOT really want to uninstall it? Then don't uninstall it. If you uninstall it, it's gone. If you want it back, then reinstall it.
Third, in Nova launcher app drawer, I just long press an app and choose uninstall. It's gone. Or I can go into the Apps section and uninstall there.
Fourth, in Nova launcher, if I just want to remove an icon from desktop (but not uninstall the app), I just long press and click remove. That doesn't uninstall the app, it just removes the icon from the home screen. IF I want to put it back or move it elsewhere, I put another shortcut to desktop from app drawer. I assume most launchers work in similar fashion. If THIS functionality is what you are talking about, that's NOT deleting (uninstalling) an app. You are merely wanting to remove a SHORTCUT of the app from the desktop.
You need to explain more, because I really have no idea what you are talking about. And you use lots of exclamation points like we should totally understand.
that's what i'm talking about, it's specific to LG phones and yes, sometimes i need to uninstall for some reasons

Interesting. I have never seen that or used it. Yeah, it's only in Management folder on one of my US998 because I haven't yet installed Nova launcher on that phone. I hate LG stock skin and usually change it as fast as possible to Nova launcher with my own app drawer organization and icon packs.
Well, it says "apps will be permanently deleted after being in the trash for 24 hours." Maybe it means 24 seconds.
Since I only uninstall apps I really want to uninstall, I don't know what to tell you.
Are you trying to temporarily uninstall something but then want it back?
consider it like 'hiding' apps lol, my phone is shared and i keep installing/uninstalling... it's very useful for me I hope I can find a fix or I will have to revert back to Nougat

You can always root your phone and install private spaces no one can see. I hear teens in school have hidden apps and stuff that way.
Dunno. Still on my phone after Oreo update.

how does it supposed to work? You drag the app you are deleting over the trash icon or something?
I have it on one of my Oreo US998. I'll test it for you if I know how it's supposed to work.

just uninstal/delete any app on your phone then go to trash can too see if it's in there
Deleted one and nothing in that folder. Never tried to use it before this, so I don't know.
In Nova launcher if u long press an app in the app drawer you can hide it. (Long press until menu shows up > edit > untick the box that says apps)
