I have had a problem with missing or non functioning apk's, specifically some of stock apps like FM radio and the either stock home UI. I installed the fix from the market and the default home shows in my home options with i dont have a default set but when I try to use it is says "This is Not a MotoBlur device: So I'm like WTF??? Apps are missing or will not work even though they show in my system/app folder but not in the app drawer. Anyone have any suggestions? Not even sure a complete reset will do any good if there are any missing system files.
One thing to note, my gf has the same stuff missing or not working but was able to get to the stock UI after downloading the fix.
Did you manage to fix this as I have the same issue on my ATrix.
Thanks jonnym

Has anyone tried QuickDesk on 1.2? I tried and it just crashes to the homescreen (after first going through the walkthrough/setup). I would really like to use this, since I like things being as simple as they can be (this way I actually read books on the thing).
Right now I'm running 1.2 rooted with no custom launcher and using smarttaskbar to access other apps that don't show up in the apps menu. But I really don't like that app very much.
Any ideas for how to get QuickDesk to work? Or has anyone accomplished it?
P.S. - my preferred way of doing things would be for the apps to appear in the stock app menu, but I recognize that is most definitely not an in demand solution (and therefore don't want to pester people about it

There is an app that simulates a "reboot" without going to halt and restart the whole nook, you could try it since all apps shows in regular EXTRAS/APP after reboot at least used to back to 1.1.... dont know if works, but if you are really interested in not installing new Launchers, you should give it a shot... the name of the app is Fast Reboot i believe... good luck!
The way that apps that are sideloaded show up in 1.2 seems different than 1.1 and earlier. You have to use an alternate launcher to access them.
I found another alternative: I'm using swipepad with the "AppLauncher" addon. I can access "quick apps" and then also a full list of all of my apps without having to use a Launcher other than the Nook Home screen.
Very frustrated at this point with all the missing apps. No facebook, no zeam, basically half my apps are missing. I've installed them manually but I'm sick of doing this every time there is a new update.
I'm running Uruk1.0 and have installed the Uruk-market, check to make sure the Galaxy id was in place, cleared the framework over and over again but still not seeing at least 20 of the apps I use.
Anything else I can do?

Have you ever seen these apps in the Market on your Archos? Some things will not show up, no matter the device footprint, or the firmware version. Even using Market Enabler doesn't help. Also, alot of apps request hardware that isn't strictly necessary, like gps and 3g, and won't show up on devices that don't have the requested hardware.
yes, I used to see them just fine before I moved to Uruk1. On Uruk.7 I could download them. Not sure what changed.
Everytime i update a ROM, i loose my settings of different pages in my phone ,i have reinstall the widgets (not the app). Is there a better way to do these. I mean, i want my facebook widget to be on a page and Pulse news and bbc on one page, I have it set right now but if i update to the new version of the ROM i am using i will have to recreate all that.
Can anyone guide on this matter ?

I have yet to find a good way to do this, other than using a third-party launcher so that it can be restored using "restore missing apps and data" in TiBu.
Also some third-party launchers have their own backup and restore functions.
There's no clean way to do this for built-in launchers, especially since many ROMs change the launcher to modded variants.
As entropy said. Find a launcher with save & restore option. Otherwise Titanium backup.
I would be interested too if you find something to solve this without an app.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
even with a 3rd party launcher, i dont think widgets can be restored.
This is correct.I kmow Launcher pro will save the placement of the widget but it will show as "problem loading widget" so essentially its useless in that aspect.
If you use the widgets that are specific for the launcher you are using, the restore will work. However, if you use a widget from another application, the launcher does not know where to find the app. I am not sure why this happens, it may be because a unique ID is assigned an app upon install, and perhaps that ID is used when setting a widget. When you re-install an app (or all of them in the case of a TiBu restore) the apps get new IDs assigned to them... That is just a guess.
Regardless, every launcher has this issue with app widgets. Somehow they get around it with their own proprietary widgets.
Hi, I've got a new phone recently, and I'd like to turn my old HTC legend into a mp3 player.
I'd like to completely remove Android and just make it a file manager similar to an iPod Classic, so I can play audio and video files.
I want the file manager to be the ONLY program on the phone, exept being able to take pictures (althogh the last is optional)
How do you do that/anything similar?
Thank you.
I don't think removing Android fully and using the phone with just a file browser is an option, I might be wrong though.
Your best bet would be to run CM7 without the Gapps package, this will probably be as light and fast as your going to get.

Well, I don't want it to be an Android anymore
I did something similar with my old Motorola Droid. I wanted it just to be an Audible player, so I installed CM7 and just disabled as much as I could. With root access, you can remove a number of system apps without breaking anything, and then use something like LauncherPro to hide the rest ot the icons in the app drawer that you don't want on there. You can also make a dock at the bottom in LauncherPro that has nothing on it, so that you can't even get to the drawer without adding an icon for it in the dock. You would end up with a homescreen that just has whatever specific apps you want on it, similar to an iPod Touch.
It'll probably be close to impossible to get something working on there that isn't Android--the touchscreen/wifi/camera rely on drivers and such. Your best bet will probably be to go with a ROM and customize it to fit your needs.
If you've ever used the Rockbox firmware for various MP3 players, there is an Android port. This runs like a regular app on Android. Its compiled daily for Android here:

You still need an operating system, you can't just get rid of Android. You could disable stuff that isn't essential to the OS like Gapps, and any other apps you dont need.
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.
