I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.
***edit***
I reinstalled the launcher but didn't set it to the default and that appeared to have worked but once i set it to default the problem started again.

That sounds more like a problem with version of Go Launcher... Try a 2.5x version and see.
Thanks for the suggestion. I downgraded to 2.53 and so far so good.

I was having the same problem. I downgraded to version 2.63 and my widgets now work fine.
2.53 was missing some features i liked in v2.6x
Edit. Nvm 2.63 is failing too now....

It's not Go Launcher. I have the same problem with Launcher Pro and ADW.
It's got something to do with the Nook.
Version 2.66 just cameout, alot of widget fixes in it. Might be worth updating to it and testing.
I just installed the update and now my widgets are there after a reboot.
Im usin 2.66 now with no problems. Thanks!
I updated to 2.66 but widgets are still screwed up after a reboot.

Same here. Seems that this is a problem if you make go launcher your default launcher (using homecatcher).

Thanks, uninstalling homecatcher fixed the problem. Widget issues have been driving me nuts.
I had the widgets not loading issue until I applied the 160dpi fixes listed in the GApps thread here.
This was the only change I made to my system, and right after it no widget problem, so I'm guessing it was the fix.
I'm using GoLauncher 2.66 and Homecatcher.
Do location based apps work now also?

I unsinstalled homecatcher but now the "n" button will only take me to the stock launcher. Go Launcher is set as my default launcher, but it doesn't seem to care.
Possible workaround.
So this seems to have worked for me on my Nook Tablet. Using Go Launcher 2.66 and Home Catcher to re-purpose the "n" button. Go Launcher is set as default upon boot, and upon hitting the "n" button. The 160 dpi fix mentioned above didn't work for me, and I was having this issue on all 2.65 and 2.66 of Go Launcher. This workaround seems to have fixed it for me. I got the initial idea from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360036
Using Root Explorer or similar tool move your alternate launcher APK from /data/app to /system/app. Change the permissions to 777 (all 3 rows checked in root explorer). Then restart, and you should be good. I have restarted numerous times now, and had no widget problems.
Step-by-Step Directions:
Open Root Explorer
Browse to /system
Click Mount R/W button
Navigate to /data/app
Long Press launcher APK file (for me it was com.gau/go/launcherex-1.apk)
Choose Move
Navigate to /system/app
Press Paste button
Long Press freshly pasted APK file
Choose Permissions
Check all the top 9 checkboxes (Read, Write, Execute for Owner, Group, Others), leave all others as they are.
Press OK
Navigate to /system
Press Mount R/O button
Restart Nook
Usual at your own risk disclaimer applies.
Thanks ffwalrus! That worked!

Nice! I wonder though if just changing the file permissions in place (in data/app) would achieve the same thing? The thing I'm curious about is how will an update affect the location change.

I am really not sure. I think its more about the order they are loaded than the permission settings themselves. I will try with Go Launcher 2.65, and see if I can update to 2.66 and report back.

Sounds like you broke your settings, just pull the settings apk from the original rom zip and push it to your phone then reboot.

Forgive me if I may sound a little dumb here but how do you pull it from the original rom then push to phone?......
I am sure one of the fonts did that. it has happened to me before. To pull somethiong out of rom just unzip it. Settings.apk is in system/app folder.
Awesome fonts. Thanks!!

Very nice. Thanks for this. I was so tired of the same s**t!
one of these fonts seem to crash your phone and give you force closing. IDK which one yet but if i find out i will post. If anyone else knows please let me know

the ajax font crashed my settings, i repeat do not install the ajax font, it will crash your phone and constant FC of your display settings, i extracted the original settings .apk from my rom and pushed over and rebooted, that does not work...still FC... not cool...
I pinpointed the one that's causing the force closes. can't remember the exact name because I deleted it right when I discovered which one it was. I do believe it had something like "7con in it. Or something to that extent. Hope this helps everyone that's having this issue.

Uninstall it using Titanium or super manager or whatever you use and it ll be back to normal.
I unistalled them all using Titanium and was able to open up my display settings again.
Edit: post before me beat me to it.
yeah, that doesn't work, i uninstalled all of them hours ago...tried to push the settings apk over using root explorer but root explorer wont allow me to mount the system folder to rw just stays ro, i pushed settings.apk over to the data folder where app is and that did nothing after i replaced settings.apk...should i unistall settings.apk from titanium then reinstall settings.apk from my rom zip? i try to reinstall the settings.apk and it will not allow me to do so..now my launcher is freezing up and force closing on reboots...
Woops same problem. Is it the ajax apk?

Hi
I am on cm 7.1 using launcherpro/adw launcher. Whenever the launcher crashes and loads again or whenever the phone reboots, all the widgets on home screens (I am using "people" and "3D digital weather clock") show "problem loading widget". Then I have to remove and add them again every time and have to configute the settings of these widgets again. Is there a solution to this?

That's the reason I asked . You could try clearing the launcher's cache.
Trash the widget and reload them. This happens to me too sometimes after rebooting. Not sure if its from using S2E.
Same here. All widgets show "Problem loading".
Note: I did not move any apps to SD.
Try this:
Boot in recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, ***FIX PERMISSIONS***, and then reboot the device. Create the widgets on your workspaces from the beginning. After you reboot, they should still be there. If some are there and some are not, try repeating the procedure once more.
Hi there, I have problem with widgets too. I have HTC Desire Bravo with built in froyo 2.2. I use ADW launcher but I had this same problem with FTL launcher.
I have rooted phone with ADW moved to SD but my widgets are installed in internal memory (since I read somewhere that I should try to move them back). I unistalled and installed widget back into phone. The problem is that this problem is with power management widget, too, and it's built in.
I tried to boot in recovery in revolutionary - wiped cache, wipe dalvik cache, fixed permissions ,rebooted , set up back widget rebooted and still had this same error. In sense everything works.

Please don't tell me to move my ADW to internal memory since the main reason I rooted my phone was moving all apps to SD since internal memory is extremely low in my phone.

Make sure whichever launcher you are using is not on the SD card. I had the same problem with go launcher as soon as I moved it to my SD. I moved it back to phone and haven't had the problem since.

Do you have the ability to do adb, or use terminal emulator?
If so re root your device, by runing NookandZergy.bat.
WARNING: This will erase yoru entire device.
Then install Terminal Emulator, or use adb and issue the following command:
Code:
echo -n '0000' > /bootloader/BootCnt
Then restart your device.
Sorry, I'm a nube at this...Don;t know what adb/Terminal Emulator is/are...
How do I know if I have adb/Terminal emulator on my NT?...
How do I go about installing either?...
Do I need to execute NookandZergy.bat on my NT?...
Please explain...Thank you...
Here's some steps I posted on someone elses topic. I know you said you did the reset but give it a shot:
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Use this method.
Just turn off the nook tablet, and start it by holding the power and N button. Continue to hold and you will note that the tablet turns on then off. Do this 8 times, and you will be promped for a full factory reset.
Loglud/dodgepot - Thank you very much for your input...Much appreciated...
I was having difficulty following either method, but I came across the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19546639&postcount=13
I followed these instructions which differ slightly, but was able to get a complete factory reset(re-image)...
I will now proceed to re-root my NT & hopefully won't run into any major issues...
Will return if I do and/or have any questions...Thank you again...

there have been reports of honeycomb launcher force closing a lot. that is according to reviews from the android market...
the only suggestion i can give you is to move the honeycomb launcher apk to system/app if it is not there already
after that go to the tgps launcher and manage apps, try clearing data and cache for honeycomb launcher and reboot. hopefully after that you won't experience any more force closes for a while.
+1 I tried hcl a little and experienced issues so went to adw launcher ex. Much better, imho.

Do you know if you're using a modified SystemUI.apk? It sounds like you might be. There is one (that was not made when those videos were made) that removes the little B&N popup menu entirely. If you want that, you might need to revert to the stock SystemUI.apk.
The Home Switcher app will allow you to change your home button functionality as you like.
ENJOY!
Thank you all for your quick response...Much appreciate it...I apologize, but being a nubie & not that familiar with the terminologies I need some direction...
I recall that the last question during the rooting process had a reference to the

2- Why move the HCL apk -> system/app?...
3- How to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache for
HCL...
4- Should the HCL be uninstalled after performing the above followed by the
ADW Launcher EX install?...
5- Can I download(install) the ADW Launcher EX from the Android market?...
6. Once the ADW Launcher EX is installed how do I flip-flop between B&N
& ADW launcher?...
I read somewhere that to get rid of Honeycomb Launcher u can go to the Android Market > My Apps and click on HCL Launcher and then Uninstall...
And something about moving it 1st to /system/app rather than /data/app(???)...With all the choices getting confused with the proper course of action...Again, I would appreciate instructions for the best/quickest(safest) approach to correct this issue...
I really appreciate your willingness to help, not to mention that this is a learning experience for me and(hopefully) I will be able to help others as a result...

I think some believe this improves stability. However it prevents the market from updating the app. I use ADW EX and have not moved it and don't have any issues. I think HCL is pretty buggy (as has been stated above).

Hit the THANKS button for those that have helped you [there are a few here] and to be honest, you're making this whole thing way more complicated than it needs to be. You really should learn how to use the XDA Forum SEARCH function more effectively so that you get better results for what it is that you're trying to do. As well, don't just hop on the first thing you find and try it without reading as much as possible about what it is that you're attempting to do. Also try to find corroborating information for that which you are attempting before attempting. Since you're new here, it can be a bit daunting but if you put a little effort into it, you'll find a lot of info and many people that will help you accordingly.
And Welcome to XDA Forums!
ckevinwelch - Many thanks for the quick & detailed response...
I've decided that I will unroot/re-root my NT & select ADW from the list of launchers...I will also pay closer attention to the question regarding SystemUI.apk at the end of the rooting process...If I understood u correctly, my response should enable the install of the SystemUI.apk, correct?...
After rebooting I should be able to switch between launchers(B&N - ADW) since the SystemUI.apk would have been installed, correct?...(I'm assuming this is done by double-clicking the "n" button)...
I'll also head over to the DEV Forum to read about accessing NT's hidden settings in order to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache, etc...
I'll post back here with the results...Thank you very much for your time and all the help...

If you want to keep the stock behavior (i.e. the little popup menu that would allow you to access the stock home), DO NOT let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. You want the stock one.
sounds like you are on barnes and noble home screen and cant change back. you can install anycut to access menu again to force change between launcher, or download a new launcher from the internet and this will force the choice again... or download the hijack adb app and use it to patch with nook zergy to install a new launcher... or download my sd card image file and it has all the apps there to install from... got videos on many of these things on my you tube channel... however, if you have removed the N menu and set barnes and noble home screen to your default launcher, you may not have access to a method to install another launcher except to manualy push it over using ADB and a usb cable. If you ar at this point and not comfortable with command prompts, then I would just do 8 factory restore and start over with the SD card I made... I even made a video of how to recover a failed root process with the sd card. it has all the files you need so you dont have to go all over looking for them.

Thank you albertwertz for the feedback...I decided to unroot/re-root and followed ckevinwelch' suggestion, i.e., did *NOT* let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. & keep the stock behavior...After rebooting my NT & selecting HomeCatcher & ADW launcher as default I can now bring up B&N's stock menu...I also got the weather widget to work properly(failing when running with HoneyComb launcher)...I really appreciate the time+patience you've put into helping me along...
I've also launched tgps_launcher to familiarize myself with the settings...One thing I noticed is that Auto Mount is flagged under Development, should it be(I recall I had to un-check it during the rooting process)?...
I did some navigating to familiarize myself with the settings, options,etc.,..
I also downloaded/installed/opened a game(Solitaire) to gauge the size of mem/storage utilized...I went back to tgps_launcher to get a list of the running Apps...I noticed that the Solitaire game was listed under the "On SD card" tab, however I didn't have an SD card installed at the time(box to the right was unchecked)?????????...
I stopped Solitaire, went back to my list of Apps & noticed that the Solitaire icon switched to the android icon...I tried opening it, but got some sort of error stating that it couldn't be opened so I ended up un-installing/re-installing...How do I determine if an Apps. is closed(not running) and what's the correct way to stop it and re-claim used memory/storage?...How do I move stuff around between data <-> system files?...
Again, many thanks(trying to get all my questions in as I learn more about this conversion)...
This rom is based on Stock 1.4.1 + Root + Additional Stuff. It is flashed via CWM.
It provides an easy upgrade for people currently running 1.4.0.
If you are running 1.4.1 now - it is easier to root it using indirect's thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
[Disclaimer] I'll not be responsible for any damage done to your NT using this zip.
Credits:
1. Indirect, nemith & Goncezilla - for porting CWM to NT
2. brianf21 & gojimi - for Hidden Settings and HomeCatcher apps
3. AdamOutler, Loglud, hkvc, Bauwkz ... and all NT Devs

http://hotfile.com/dl/144306077/e77bd97/Nook141root.zip.html
Pre-requisite
You need to have a working CWM - either on SDCard or using the app created by Indirect
To install CWM on SDCard, follow this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987
To install CWM using indirect's app, follow this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458630
Instructions:
1. Copy the zip (Nook141root.zip) to internal or external SD Card
2. Boot into CWM
3. Do a backup of your current rom (very important)
4. Install Nook141root.zip - took about 5 min
5. Reboot
6. Go through the bn registration process
7. Press "n" button and select HomeCatcher as default
8. Select zeam launcher as default
9. Use NTHiddenSettings to disable automount, enable adb and unknown sources
10. Configure it to your own liking - replace launcher, debloat etc
Additional Apps Included:
1. Superuser
2. HomeCatcher - thanks gojimi
3. NT Hidden Settings - thanks brianf21
4. NT Recovery Flasher - thanks indirect
5. Zeam Launcher
6. Gapps, Market, Gmail, Talk and VoiceSearch
7. Button Savior
8. Busybox Installer
9. CM Email - replace stock Email
10. Desk Clock, Calendar & Calculator
Notes:
1. This update will wipe everything (data and cache) - so you should backup your apps and data using Titanium for easy restore back
2. This update won't touch the recovery partition - If you want to be able to return to factory state, use NT Recovery Flasher to flash the Stock Recovery image (Comes with CWM and 1.4.1 recovery image)
Can you explain what is the advantage of 1.4.1 ?. Also did you test it to see if homecatcher doesn't kill the N button as it has happened in 1.4.0 root?

Frankly I'm not sure about the real advantage - I only own it for a week +.
I am not sure about the homecatcher problem (use it only at the beginning) and once I set default launcher to zeam - it's not used anymore.
Pressing "n" button will brings out quicknav - then pressing home will go to zeam. Is it normal?
I'm still playing and learning - anyway with CWM, you don't have to worry about messing it up
wanted to thank you for this. I used in combonation with Indirect root and NT works great
any reason as to why i go to download an app from the android market and the tablet reboots, it does this for all apps also

I had this installed, and didn't have this issue. Then I installed cm7 alpha, experienced the near brick, and after recovering was going to come back to this rom, but after flashing it I was experiencing the same issue you're having now. I never did get it fixed, just ended up going back to cm7.
I wouldn't mind going back to this until the cm7 beta becomes available, so I'll be keeping an eye on this in case a solution arises.

Use NT Hidden settings. Steps:
1. Check "Unknown Sources" then Back and Click on "Unknown Sources Hack"
2. Exit
3. Go back to NT Hidden Settings and repeat step 1 & 2
Now if you go back to NT Hidden Settings again you'll notice Unknown Sources remains Checked - do nothing and exit.
I have tested to install some apps from SD Card and it works

I don't have this problem but maybe you can try this: Boot into CWM and clear cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions.

This worked, thanks! Trick is to do steps 1 and 2 twice... I am still having trouble restoring apps from TiBu. Getting parsing errors when I try to restore facebook, chrome, etc. that I backed up on my captivate. I can install my standalone apk's but TiBu restoring apps doesn't seem to be working, at least for me.

It may not work since you are restoring the backup from another device. Try to restore apps only without data.

Same problem. reboot on app install from the market.
EDIT: It seems to have stopped now, but it did it 3 or 4 times, before i let it sit for a while and tried again. *shrug*

I also have tons of issues with Titanium Backup, I had to disable the Busybox and SQLlite optimized installations for it to work. Otherwise, it would just hang up when I tried to restore apps.

by that you mean you force system busybox and sqlite in app processing mode settings? (I had to do this on a cheapo tablet for tbp to work)
So has anyone figured out how to stop the reboots while downloading apps, I cant even use anything barnes and noble from my nand restore, I was hoping this rom would save the day but doesnt look like it, guess its worth a shot.
I am running the stock official GB Rom for my Atrix model. It is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
Quite after every reboot it happens that all the widgets fail to load and the message "Problem loading widget" is displayed.
This happens both with ADW Launcher EX and Go Launcher EX.
I tried to repair the permissions from the Recovery. It did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions, please?
Are you using a ROM?

I gave up running Faux kernels because of this problem. I could not find a way around it (fix permissions and certain re-unlock steps work for some people). What kernel are you running?
I wish there was a way around it for me. Between widget problems and webtop status bar issues I have not found a kernel that would work other than the stock one.
I forgot that I am using faux kernel,too! Can this really be the problem?

Yes, sir...if you flash the stock kernel the widget problems should go away. Some people have the widget problem and some don't. It goes away for some and it doesn't for others. I tried everything. Rom manager fix permissions, etc. Every time I used a Faux kernel my widget problems came back. Sometimes immediately, sometimes a few days later. I have never seen the "problem loading widget" error message on the stock kernel. Not ever....
Use ROM Manager to fix permissions (fixes issue in most cases). This is a very old problem. Simple search would have answered your question.

Besides repairing the permissions from the recovery, I also tried to fix them with Rom Manager, too.
Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem.
Update: it seems so much strange that a kernel could cause such problems. I read somewhere that the "problem loading widget" message usually appears when the widget is not able to load some resources. It smells like a permissions problem, of course.
Update 2: I also am no more able to fix permissions through rom manager, it gives me a generic error
Sorry for the bump but after reading some replies, I understand that I have not made myself clear.
Problem:
After a Reboot, the widgets display a "Error loading widget" message
Contexts:
Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked, Faux Kernel, ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX
NottachTrix 1.2.2, stock kernel + ram fix, ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX
Tried Solutions:
Fix permissions from Recovery
Fix permissions from Rom Manager

I used to get this exact same thing happening. Fix Permissions in CWM for some reason isn't as good as doing it from ROM Manager, then rebooting. This always worked for me, and it was the only semi-perma solution which ever surfaced as far as I know, other than going back to a stock kernel. I too use ADW-EX.

I (sort of) solved it: it was probably caused by Titanium Backup.
Even if the applications were not on the SD-card, there was something wrong with them (permissions, I guess) and the permissions utilities were not able to fix them.
Therefore, I re-installed the ROM and tried to install the applications from the Market instead of restoring them from TBA. Everything works now.
Thank you all for the suggestions, in any case!
Make sure whichever launcher you are using is not on the SD card. I had the same problem with go launcher as soon as I moved it to my SD. I moved it back to phone and haven't had the problem since.
