[Q] Cookies Home Tab Lockscreen menus?

Hi all, have been messing around with wallpapers and layout using Cookies Home Tab 2.0. After changing to my preferences there is now two options that appear at the bottom of the lockscreen when I lock it - "Phone" on the left & "Menu" on the right. "Phone" does nothing when pressed but "Menu" opens the CHT options menu. Don't want to lock the phone, put it in my pocket and find that all of my Home Tab preferences have been changed in my pocket! Any ideas please?
try disabling the cht lockscreen then turning it back on.
or go through all the obscure settings in cht editor and see if you changed anything.....

New screen on single press of home key

I have had my Galaxy S2 for a few days now. Originally when I pressed the home button it would take me to the center home screen ( I use LauncherPro ). Suddenly it started going to this screen - see attached screen shot.
Does anyone know how to fix?
That looks like the dock which is in the Clock application.. I can suggest a few things.
1. Check settings in launcher pro and see what the home binding option is.
2. Go to clock application and clear any defaults, then press home button and select launcher pro as default.
3. Uninstall and re-install launcher pro and press home button and set launcher pro as default.

You were right, it was the home screen landing setting in launcher pro, I had inadvertently switched it to hide notification bar, and instead the car dock screen showed up when I pressed it. All fixed now!

[Q] Sense home screen up-shifted

A strange Sense Home Screen up-shifted as shown in the attached photo. Anyone has a clue how to fix it? It likely happened after trying the "Transcriber.exe" program. Thanks.
Performing a factory reset
Make sure you do a full backup of your data .
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
On the Home screen's Settings tab, tap Menu > All Settings > System > Clear Storage.
Enter 1234.
Tap YES to perform the reset, or tap NO to cancel the reset.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using buttons on the phone.
With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
While holding the volume buttons, press the END/POWER button briefly and then release it.
When you see a warning message on screen, release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

[Q] Quicknav buttons - did mine change?

I recently picked up a 16gb nook tablet, loaded with 1.4.0 from B&N.
First thing I did was root it with the SDCard method from Albert. I played with it a little and installed some extra launchers to test out without assigning any of them as the default.
Before installing the new launchers, I thought I remember that the Home button in the quicknav bar would always go the B&N home even when the double tap 'n' button was programmed to the alternate launcher.
Now however, it is no longer doing that. I can program it to the B&N Home page, but then double tapping the 'n' button also goes to the B&N home page. I can program the double tapping 'n' button to my alternate launcher, but then the quicknav soft home button also goes to the alternate launcher.
Things I have tried:
Clearing defaults/cache from B&N 'Home' apk
Installing new launcher to reset the defaults
Uninstalling/Reinstalling Homecatcher
Uninstalling Home manager
8 Failed Boot + Restore Factory Image + Reroot
I should note that I only *noticed* this problem after I restored from backup after repartitioning my drive according to the process posted here. I don't believe that caused it, but that was when I noticed it.
So, am I remembering incorrectly? Are the quicknav home soft button and double tap always tied together? Or did something get mucked up somehow?
If mucked up, any suggestions on where I should look to try to fix it? I noticed that there is a quicknav reprogramming tool for the lower end Nook - has anybody worked on one for the Tablet yet?
Thanks for any help!!
And thanks so much to the developers for making the tools to turn the Nook into such a much more useful tablet!

Open the Contacts app's settings and long-press in the blank space at the bottom middle of the screen for about five seconds and then stop pressing, and an Enter service code button will be displayed. Touch the button and a dialer will be displayed. Enter *#*#73556673#*#* and the demo mode should toggle off.
READ THIS if you have a problem trying to get the Enter service code button to be displayed.
To reset the XTZ to factory settings, open tablet's Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.

It doesn't work in 4.4 kitkat anymore. Earlier you can disable it via code *#*#SELLMORE#*#* or delete retaildemo.apk if you have root. But in 4.4 there is no such apk and code doesn't work as far as i know.
