I just bought my Nook Tablet form BBuy. It's firmware 1.4.0 I installed some 3rd party apps (Aldiko, kindle, amazon store which work fine. However, I have issues with ADW and Launcher Pro, and I can only get some apps to run. I know that is a a common issue, but I would like to delete the apps that do not work and launchers, but I cannot find out how. I have no need for two launchers, so I'd like to delete Launcher pro -because it wont even launch- but I cannot figure out how to do it. Also gmail -which I read all over this site works- does not work, and I would like to delete it as well. It still pops sup in my searches so I know it's installed somewhere. My other issue is launching ADW. The only way I can get it to launch is when I power off the device and it auto launches into it on power up. If I search for any combination of ADW it does not come up in my lists. So if I exit ADW I have no way to get back into it. Any help would be great. I'm just about to throw this thing out a window and just get a Fire instead.
Okay so i'm a noob at the nook tablet myself but i'll try to give you some ideas..
The apps that don't run.. you don't say.. but i can tell you that honeycomb apps probably won't work so you'd need to make sure they are not for that version of android
This thread gives you great apps that work on the nook tablet

you should definitely consider loading app Manager to have side loaded apps appear on the nook home screen.. and Button Saviour so you can get to the alternate home screen (launcher pro, go launcher whatever you use..)
There is great info in this forum. and honestly it took me a day of reading but now my nook rocks...
I've been using my nook for almost a week and i can tell you it's a great little tablet for the price.. i bought it after selling my ipad2 and wanted something to use whilst waiting for the ipad3.. i can tell you now.. i'll be keep this nook tablet as it is a great size for reading and covers all my surfing and movie watching needs.. the kindle fire is good but having also owned that for a couple of days before returning.. i can tell you the limited storage space and inferior screen put me off...
Lol. I had read thatbthread at least 4 times and never saw how to delete apps until now. Installed google framework and now my youtube app doesnt work, and gmail still doesnt work.
You need to install NTHiddensettings.apk in order to delete apps from the Nook.
As I mentiined, I figured out how to delete, but does anyone know where the apk.s download to so i can remove, after installing them?
Seriously? No one knows where the apks download to? Also, how in gods name do you get gmail to work side-loaded. All my other questions have been answered per linked thread.
/data/app
And did you root and install gapps? Without that, I don't think you're going to be able to use gmail.

No not rooted. People are claiming successful installation of gmail, google+, and other google services specific apps, but I get the "Unable to establish stable connection" every time I try to side load them.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are you saying others have side loaded these apps without rooting? I don't think they work without the Google services framework, which you have to root to install.

Hey,
Got a new Tablet Z for Christmas and I love it so far.
The only issue I'm getting is that Facebook with Xperia isn't working. When I click to set it up from settings, it loads the general message saying the tablet will need access to things. Then when I click ok, it closes down and returns to the last screen. Facebook works fine, just the Facebook with Xperia that doesn't (its more the Facebook pictures in the album app that I want)
Tried this a few times with the same result. Did a factory reset, and also updated to 4.3.3 today. Have also tried stopping some of the services and clearing their cache, but no luck. Had a Google and searched the forums but couldn't find anything.
Any one got any Ideas?
Thanks
Okay guys so, about a month ago I saw this video from highonandroid that allowed people to try out the new Android M launcher for the Google now launcher. It was an apk so I downloaded and installed it from their site and after about a week I didn't like it and thought that deleting the apk and reinstalling Google now launcher would solve my problem. It didn't. So now my Google now launcher is permanently stuck with the M look and idk what to do. I tried installing previous versions of the launcher from androidapk and I can't get it to work bc the downloaded apk won't open when I tap it from the notification shade. It also won't go away when I swipe. It just keeps coming back. What do I do guys? I'm stuck and getting frustrated that nothing is working.
Right now I am also logged in on a Huawei H868c for my cousin RayRay1972. I recently rooted his phone with Supersu, and he uninstalled some of the apks and apps that was supposed to accompany Su. He has been having trouble installing apps (mainly Facebook and Messenger), and at this moment his keyboard isn't 'cooperating'( I think it's Google) is there any advise or wisdom on this matter that anyone could offer. (I was able to get him the Messenger apk, and home launcher, but wasn't able to get Facebook because of an issue with dropbox.) The struggle is real!
Hi guys, i just received my new rog phone...i made all the updates and installed apps and noticed that i can't organize alphabetically the app drawer...i searched all around, even here but apparently it's impossible to do with the stock launcher...it's really like that?
