[Q] b and n launch page lost - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I am a simple nook tablet user that has accidently changed my launch homescreen away from b&n one and would just get it back since it is what im used to. Never thought to bookmark it and now cannot remember or find addy. Can someone please provide for me so i can reset my homepage. Thnkx

If you mean the BN Nook Book Store it's http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/NOOK-Book-eBook-store/379003094

web launch page
No I don't mean the store page. The page I am referring to is the one that was preset to come up when you clicked on the web button. It was a b and n page but also had the web search field as part of the page. Sorry to be a dork! Can't believe I never thought to book mark it!

Ok, this means you have an alternate launcher. Open the page with all your apps and look for one called "Home". That should be your stock home page If you can't find one called Home, look for "Home catcher". It's an app where you set what launcher to use when pressing "n".
Edit: Went and looked at rooted stock Tablet. Look in the bottom left corner of your home screen and there should be ymbols with 2 little houses. Touch there and you get a chance to switch to your Home, and also make it your default. "Quick switch" just switches, "Home Manager" let's you set your defailt.

Well, I don't have a clue what's going on! I must not understand you right.
If your device isn't rooted I don't get how the home page can be lost, and your talk about "bookmarking" it makes me extra confused. I associate "bookmark" with web page, and don't know how you could have bookmarked the home launch page
Sorry I couldn't help!

thank you

All I know is it had the same home page forever then somehow last night I was searching some recipes and must have hit something and suddently when I hit the web button on my home page it immediately opened to the food network! Have no idea what I did. I did not go to my settings page and change the home page but when I went there to check it now lists the food channel as my home page with no options to change. Since I have no bookmark to the original home page and cannot for the life of me remember the long page addy I have no idea how to get it back to where it was originally! thanks so much for trying to help! Maybe someone else will have an idea!

Could it be this one?

[Q] Missing form input elements

I have a very strange issue: regardless of which browser I use I'm missing check boxes, radio buttons and combo boxes. There is no indication that there is supposed to be an input at all. If I click in the area that you would expect an input to be it seems as if I've clicked something, but there's no indication of the state of the input.
Vegan GB with Dolphin HD. I've tried Firefox,sky fire and the stock browser.
TIA

All of them. For example at the bottom of this reply page there is a 'Post Icons' fieldset filled with radio buttons with pictures beside them. When I look at this page on my gtab none of the radio buttons are there. Same thing happens with checkboxes.
I don't have a tab with me right now to post a screenshot, but that's the general idea.

Odd, I am running veganginger and am NOT seeing that on either dolphinHD or the stock browser.
Did you install a custom theme?
*Sigh*
In your browser, you need to change the setting to allow picture and flash all the time.
Also, in some text box fields, what you need to do is long press the menu button first to bring up the keyboard and then press on the text box. For example, for the search option of this thread, you have to long press the menu button to bring up the keyboard and then press the search option and then press once on the text box that appears.
If you are using dolphin HD, in the settings look at the upper right hand corner and you should see an option that reinitiate your dolphin browser. Click on that and make sure you choose all the time instead of on demand.

I did. I think it's called HoneyBread. I'll try going to back to stock and see if that helps. Thanks, I didn't think of that.

Why the "*sigh*", did I miss something obvious?
I'm having this issue with all of the browsers, not just Dolphin. I'll still try your solution though.

If reverting to stock fails, you should be able to re-flash ginger (backup first, in case I am totally wrong) without clearing data or cache or anything, which should replace all the system files with stock versions for that rom.
I'm thinking the theme thing borked some core apk/image library. Hopefully reverting will do the trick but if not, you can always take the above nuclear action

Yeah, I was thinking nuclear , but I'll try to reflash first. I didn't know I could do that. I'm using titanium backup linked to my dropbox account, so I don't see either as horrible options.
Thanks for your help!!!!

Thank you for your help, it seems to have been a theme related issue! I'm all fixed up and ready to go again!

Nice, glad it worked out. So just selecting the stock theme did it?

[Q] How Do You Get to the Homepage on the Default Browser?

I have set the homepage on my TFP original/default browser to http://news.google.com but there doesn't appear to be a way of putting a Homepage button on the address bar.
Have I missed something?

You sure have....and all it required was a little playing around with the Prime.
When you have the browser open, in the upper right hand corner are 3 dots...click on those and the bottom choice is SETTINGS. Click on that, and DADA....you can set your home page.

He knows how to set the homepage. He's asking if there is a button to click on that brings you to that homepage.

Yeap, I've already set the homepage, I'm just trying to find out how to get to it from the browser main screen!
Anyone?
Only way I have found is to open a new tab which will then go to your home page

[Q] ICS Quick Browser

Just installed this browser to get rid of the annoying "browser not responding" and thus far, having pretty good luck and really liking the browser, much more than the stock.
My only gripe is, why can I not see the address bar when scrolled down far on the screen? For example, while in any other browser, if I am far down the page, as long as I "pull down" the address bar appears, but while in ICS quick browser, I have to scroll all the way back up to the top.
Is this a setting I can fix, or is that just the way it is? I hope is can be changed because I am really liking this browser.
Thanks!
if you tap once on the visible tab title area the address bar appears.
hope the above makes sense.

I tried that, I figured that would do the trick, but no. I have to go all the way back up. I wonder why this is. For example, I tried it on facebook as well as google news...somewhere I was able to be far down.
No other ideas? tapping in the tab area does nothing.
I been telling people about this browser for awhile now. It's badass! To get to a tab without scrolling all the way back up just tap the 4th button from the left next to the recent tabs key. It's what I always did. Hope that helps you.:good:

4th button ? Sorry but when i lok at the top all i see is the current tab/tabs. What do you mean?
for me clicking on the tab works... for example clicking on the tab title for this page

works to toggle the address bar on and off.

[Q] Desktop dock makes home button launch desktop clock

Hi,
I have the samsung desktop dock and when i plug in the phone it changes the behaviour of the home button.
When the phone is docked the home button launches the desktop clock (see attachment for screenshot) instead of going to the home screen.
I also attached the current dock settings, but i don't really see an option on how to disable it.
As you probably already guessed i just want the home button to go home, even when its docked. Is there a way to change this?
Tia!

DockAwake should do the trick.
I don't know why, but my brain skipped the idea of looking on the play store for a solution
And it's not that posting this thread was an impulsive reaction, it's been nagging me for weeks...
Asking it here at xda was sort of my last resort.
Anyway, i ended up installing this app that does just what i asked:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.megagram.docknoop
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Your welcomed CoolCow...That's what these things take sometime...is a nudge in the right direction.
As well as the 2 mentioned here, there is also DockNothingness. So that's 3 choices at least.
I gave you a THANKS button push to get you started
Thanks right back at you

Chrome browser not available as home page after update?

Ok so my phone (LG G5) has recently seen a host of updates from Google. Currently on V7.0. quite simply I'm stuck with the Google app as a default homepage like so
https://flic.kr/p/YaKCPg
Whereas I'm used to and would like to keep the original like this
https://flic.kr/p/ZbTzaR
I've double checked my settings and the homepage is definitely Google as pushing the home icon brings it up. Is there a work round to get the original back in a new tab without having to push 'home' every time?
Many thanks. Hope this hasn't already been asked and the links work ok.
Did you check home screen settings in the chrome?
I believe it's a change in chrome. So roll back to older version and give it a try.

Yep. My chrome homepage is google.co.uk which works when you tap the home button just not when you open a new tab.
