Ok, this is more of a Honeycomb question, but every once in a while when I click on the little download icon (down arrow near clock), a window will pop up showing my download history. It will show everything I downloaded today, and then will have drop down boxes for the past (such as yesterday, last 7 days, etc). Question is, how do I bring up that window? It seems very inconsistent and I don't know how to pull it up without downloading something first.
Can anyone suggest a way round the browser getting killed and forgetting all the tabs?
I've not been able to find anything, the only suggestion being that anything with a notification in the bar won't be shut down so i tried setting this up via tasker, but that didn't work either.
It's the one thing that is really irritating me about my move from iphone to android, ok it's not a big thing but if i leave a tab open to read it later, or if I'm 1/2 way through I don't want to have to go re-load it just because I end up doing something else for a while.
This happens with every browser I've tried so far.
Hi,
I did the root from InDirect, everything's fine, had the OTA update from B&N come down so spent another chunk of time watching the video on how to redo everything and block the sucker to get old device manager. So in theory I'm good to go. P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'd bake you guys some cookies (well buy some, I'm not a domestic goddess) if I could. I'm a rooting noob and know how much I owe to you guys.
A few things have popped up and there seems to be a bunch of threads but none that help in a clear cut way that my kinda newbie brain understands (or maybe my sleep deprived brain is gaining on me). If you all don't mind pointing me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
Problem 1: Google frameworks process error causing a force close window on start up. Yep, I know there are a bunch of threads for this but what do I actually need to do? Replace something? I saw mention of some files (which are in their respective folder).
Problem 2: I kind of like the stock keyboard and would either like it back or something similar. Is there a keyboard you all recommend?
Problem 3: When I go into setting > keyboard the darn thing throws a force close error (com.android.settings). I know people have been getting the same thing and it fixed itself with the darn OTA update but I killed that and now I'm back to square one with the keyboard setting issue - namely I can't set anything.
Problem 4: I have a few google calendars in my google account and on the calendar app I only see one color tag when I view the calendar but when I go to the agenda view on the calendar app I see my other different color coded calendar listings. Why the heck can't I see it in a normal 31 day calendar view with all my calendar color tags?
Question: How can I tell if I have access to all the storage on the device which rooting gives me and which app is the best way to utilize it?
Question: Is there some kind of task killer for running apps on my rooted tablet or should I leave it alone?
Question: How do I "thank" someone for their post?
I promise I've been poking around and I'm not some super lazy a-hole who doesn't want to try and look for things. I was part computer science in college (a combo of computer science and art) so I'm not a complete programming moron though this is the first gadget I've bought and tinkered with.
Basically I'd like to know if I can fix these issues instead of rooting for the millionth time when I inadvertently really mess things up.
Thanks dudes!

1. ignore for now
2. recommend swiftkey or swype
3. use the hidden settings app and choose accessibility
4. try third party contacts app like go contacts
5. go to calender app, hit menu button, more, calender and check to see all your calenders are there and if not, add them
a. root access allows you to transfer files to b&n partition
b. i dont use task killers
c. thanks button below if you are using a browser
i can has cookies?
I too was getting the force close message when trying to access my keyboard settings after rooting using Indirect's method. I absolutely hated the autocomplete on the new keyboard and wanted to turn it off, but I just couldn't get to the keyboard settings at first (even with the hidden settings app--it still force closed). A couple of days ago, I installed the Anycut app to help with another problem, and while using it to create a shortcut for an activity, I scrolled past "android keyboard settings" in the list of choices. Once I created a shortcut for android keyboard settings, I was able to go in and change things to suit me (adios annoying autocomplete!). I don't know if this will help with any of your problems, but you did mention you were having trouble accessing your keyboard settings...good luck!
most keyboards have a button to access their settings. you just gotta find it.
On the gingerbread keyboard in the root method to change settings:
- long press on the , and then slide up/over to the settings icon that pops up. This should bring up a menu to make keyboard changes.
- you will find that a number of the keys have long-press options.

Thanks for the tips. Much simpler than my accidental Anycut fix! Wish I had known earlier--I spent hours fiddling with everything but the simplest fix on Xmas day!
I tried to post this in the galaxy s4 all in one root thread, but it said I didnt have permission, and I dont see a verizon s4 root specific thread so Im posting here.
I discovered the problem when I was messing around with the root app, multi window manager. Upon setting it up, then trying to drag my new apps over (in the edit screen), and remove some of the default, I was unable to do either. The default apps in the toolbar wouldnt even move and the ones I was tryin to add would drag but I was unable to drop them in.
I finally uninstalled the app, and tried to edit the multitask bar without the app, and got the same results. Couldnt edit anything, apps woudnt budge.
SO far thats the only issue Ive had after rooting, I hope there arent anymore to come.
UPDATE:
K fixed it. For anyone else that migh have this problem just toggle your multiwindow funtion off, then back on and you should be good! Worked for me.
I am using Alliance ROM Build 24 4.3 for my VRW I605. I love the ROM but have been having 2 issues that I have not been able to find fixes for anywhere.
1. Media Gallery has a long lag. I click on the icon and takes about 2-5 seconds to finally open. When i click on any of the albums i have to wait another 2-3 seconds for it to pop up. Wondering if there is anything I can do to make it run faster.
2. The dreaded Instagram Video Upload problem. Ive searched and searched and nothing. Ive seen other ROMs find a fix (Meanbean) unfortunately the fix appears to work for that ROM only. Every time I am on the final step of uploading the video I get a pop up that says
"Unfortunately, the process com.instagram.android has stopped"
Is there any fix for this? I really do not want to switch to another ROM since I really like this one but something this small may cause me to.
