Hey all,
For some reason I can't seem to figure out how to copy/paste text on the NT. Long pressing does nothing and I don't think such an app exists.
Anyone have any tips or solutions?
Thanks!

the only thing i can suggest is using opera mobile as a browser. its working in there at least.
There is no native copy/paste feature in the tablet. You'll have to download an alternative browser or somesuch to do that. Its quite annoying tbh
Not the answer you wanted.

Hi, I can only cut and paste in to apps that have code for cut and paste on the NT. On the NC, with cm7 it is not an issue. I have been using Everywhere Clipboard lite, aNdclip Free and Copy Paste It trial.
ALL only work with apps that have code for cut and paste written into them.
Not sure what apk is blocking this or where to look for a solution.
Unable to paste, even thou it is in the clipboard. used opera mobile to copy url.

Thanks for answering. I understand what you say, since I run cm7 on my NC.
It is just frustrating on the NT. But I have been able to work around cut and paste issues.
I've found a way to enable copy and paste - instructions and video at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534757. Requires root.

May be just me, but I just downloaded the latest 4.3 update to the dolphin browser and it broke pinch to zoom on my nook color.
Just a heads up to those of you running dolphin.
Downgraded to the 4.2 version at this site:

You guys should read the release notes. It says nook color useres don't download as it breaks the pinch zoom.
I didn't notice it in the release notes, whoops.
However, they provide this handy link to 4.2 to downgrade!

I don't think that was there when the update was first pushed to the market. I'm pretty good about reading the change log before updating. I bet that the note was added after the problem was discovered.

I downloaded the 4.2 apk from the above link, and tried to install it from the download directory. I got an error saying that installing downloaded apps isn't supported. So I tried to copy it to the dolphin directory, but I couldn't find it under /system/apps. What's the dorectory for dolphin called, and if I copy the file there, will it install?

Go into the nook color tools, turn on "allow non-market apps" install with astro adb or what ever you method of choice is.

make this browser default
I have my nook rooted and am not using a launcher pretty much stock with tons of apps loaded. when I click the quick launcher semi circle on the bottom of the screen I would like this browser to be the default one that opens when I hit "web" has anyone tried this or even cares. I use root explorer and have tried all different ways to successfully do this with no sucess.
Get thee to the marketplace and search for "Default Browser Selector". Works for me!
But the release notes a re a little ctyptic. It says, "not to upgrade for pinch problems" which could be read as not to upgrade to FIX a problem. Not because it causes a problem.

CM7 using Gingerbread 2.3 has copy and paste
I'm not sure you will find a App or Keyboard that has this function.
EDIT:: Ok a quick look on google. and found this "Copy Paste It"
Looks like its $3.99 for the full version, free is limited to 10 copy and paste

Yes this is the app that I downloaded, but with the nook there is no way to paste and the app doesn't come with a paste function so I was trying to find a keyboard with a paste button. I hear the slide - it keyboard has a paste button but I'm not sure if I'd like that type of keyboard.

If you are running Eclair (2.1), you will not be able to paste. If you are running 2.2 or 2.3, you have that capacity.

If you ever lose a system app again, you can do an "adb push" from your computer. Just download the firmware and unzip it and you will find the files you need. Getting the file posted can be easier but not having to wait for someone to respond can be quicker.

Related question... when I try to add an attachment to an email the "My Media" is the only option remotely close to being able to browse for a file - how do I replace it with (or simply add) a real file browser?
Also, where can I put a file so that it actually shows up in My Media???
Couldn't you just use ES Explorer or any file manager with root access and reinstall the gallery.apk located in "System\App"?
Or maybe I'm missing something.

Is that the Nook Gallery ("My Media") or the standard Android Gallery app?
I'm trying to replace the crappy and very limited Nook one...
Would I just install another gallery to replace the My Media?
EDIT: I just clicked on it and chose install, I guess it IS the "My Media". Have you used "My Media"? I want something like a regular browser that let's me attach files (when sending emails) other than just the pictures that come with the NT.... Also would like a gallery type browser in addition to the Root Browser I have installed...
With Enhanced Email, I can attach any type file from anywhere using Gallery, My Media, Quickoffice, sound recorder or any of my file managers.
help?

Sorry to be a noob, but where is the firmware zip?
I'd like to reinstall a couple of things I de-blated prematurely. Thanks for any help any of you have.
With the help of another xda member. (Halfcalf) we now have hulu plus for our device. All you need to do is place the extracted files from the zip I will upload into your titanium backup folder then restore the app AND data. All three files must be in the titanium backup folder. Not just one big folder. It took me a few tries but it works. I'll answer questions as your post.
I also noticed that after the first time it said unsupported..i just went back to titanium and restored the data again..if you have any buffering problems..that on hulu not the app.
Im currently watching hulu on my tab as we speak
Please post back if this works for you.

OK this is good news as you don't need to install an app from other sources. It can be downloaded straight from the market and it works on ANY device.
So download the latest hulu plus from the market.
Download any root file manager. I use root explorer but any other file browser that let's u edit data folder would do it.
Open file browser and go to /data/data/com.hulu.plus/shared_prefs and open cSPrefs.xml
Now in that file there's a huge string named lastTimeOut.
In that string look for ns_ap_device= and replace what's in between that and &. In my case I'm running cm9 so I have ns_ap_device=p5& where p5 is the devices name. Change that to a supported devices name, I used Xooms device name Stingray so the end result will be ns_ap_device=Stingray&
Just replace that part without touching anything else. Save the file and reopen hulu. It should work now.
That will work even it the app gets updated and its an easy fix if you clear data or something.
Let me know how it works for y'all and remember to hit thanks if it helped you
enjoy your hulu.

When I open cSprefs.xml it is only a couple of lines long and doesn't have the above string of text in it anywhere. I am using Root Explorer to open and edit the file, would that be the problem?
When i download the zip it says the directory isnt found. I cant even find the zip once i download it.

So I decided to try this again. I understand the directions now i do the following.
Use root explorer and open cSPrefs.xml
I find the text string mentioned above and change "p5wifi" to"Stingray" then save and close the file.
I then reopen the file and confirm the change. Then when I open hulu plus I get the device not supported error. When i reopen cSPrefs.xml it has changed the device back to p5wifi.
Can anyone help me please.

Hey guys, I wrote an article over on our site that shows a quick walkthrough on how to display full desktop websites permanently on Chrome for Android Mobile so that you don't have to visit the mobile site, then hit "request desktop site" button any more. Considering Chrome is an awesome browser with full sync, and works very well on Jelly Bean, this might be of use to all of you. I know I was sick of having to constantly click the button.
Article: How To – Permanently Have Desktop Mode on Chrome Mobile for Android
Rooted device Instructions:
Copy the chrome-command-line.txt file attached to the post, then paste it into /data/local/ making sure to set the permissions to 755 and to remove the '.txt' file extension.
Flashable .zip, for the lazy:
You should know how to use this by now. Grab the attached ChromeDE.zip provided by XDA user djmcnz and flash away! (Thanks!) You can also drop him a thanks by visiting a post of his later in this thread.
ADB Instructions (for non-rooted devices):
Place the chrome-command-line.txt file in the root directory of your PC and rename it to 'chrome-command-line', then make sure your device is connected to your computer. When connected, issue this command:
Code:
adb push /chrome-command-line /data/local/chrome-command-line
You can also set the path on your computer where the file is located by replacing the first '/chrome-command-line' with the file location.
Cheers! Hopefully we'll see a better implementation of this in the upcoming 4.2 release.
Very useful. Instructions were clear and precise, Nice one!

No? When testing with a Nexus 7 unrooted you cannot navigate to Data/local through Solid Explorer. Naturally I thought it had to be rooted. If you have had success with a different file manager (or pushed it through ADB) then letting me know what worked would be great.

You'll be able to get to it in a terminal window or adb - not sure what's up with Solid, equally an update.zip will work without root.
/data/local/ is r/w for the local user and shell.
try - echo test > /data/local/test.txt on a non-rooted device, it'll work.
Actually, now that think about it more - Solid probably can't list the contents of / (root) so you can't navigate to sub directories. Can you type a path into Solid? That should work.

I'll definitely test that out and put a guide for newbies on there. Solid displays the root directory, but will not allow you to navigate to a folder inside of it. I was thinking about ease of access for the user, and assumed they wouldn't want to go the adb route. My bad, but thank you for the heads up.

If you want it as easy as possible you could provide an update.zip for those with a custom recovery - that's going to be the simplest way. If you want to do that and need some help let me know.

In the meantime you can have a look at some here: http://djmcnz.batteryboss.org/GNexus/mods/StockLauncher/v4/
