[Q] Multiple 3rd party issues.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353040
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.

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.

Jelly Bean and paid apps bug; any workarounds?

Just flashed randomblame's excellent JELLYTIME ROM on my Inspire. It's working great, but like so many others I've been bitten by the paid app bug in the Play Store encryption process. I'm looking for a work-around, but there doesn't seem to be much out there, or I'm missing it.
As far as widgets go, HD Widgets responded well to the "back up, delete and restore" treatment. But neither of my preferred keyboards (SwiftKey or Thumb Keyboard) will persist after a reboot. I tried the process mentioned above, but keyboard still reverts to stock. I'm using a free version of another keyboard app, and it does persist, but I'd really like to find a better solution.
3 questions:
1. Is there a workaround to get these keyboard apps to persist? I've found nothing, and I'd rather not go through the whole installation process every time I reboot.
2. If not, is there a way to use Tasker to install after reboot? I'm not really knowledgable about Tasker, and this seems to be beyond it's capabilities, but I'm not sure.
3. I've read that Google disabled encryption in the JB Play Store. What does that mean exactly? That apps purchased from JB Play aren't encrypted? If that's the case then they should persist correct? But I have, I think, the JB Play Store, and when I installed SwiftKey from Play, it still doesn't persist. Maybe I don't actually have JB Play. Or maybe Play remembers that my phone was originally Gingerbread and it won't let me install JB apps. I don't know.
Any suggestions?
P.S. Just checked. Along with JELLYTIME I flashed JB gapps zip found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796675
Looks like the right one to me. Hmm...
Another P.S. When I search Play Store for Google Wallet on my laptop, it tells me it's not compatible with my phone. So I'm thinking Play doesn't realize I'm running JB. Is there a way to fix this?

[Q] [Help] Can't login to Google on my Nexus 5

Hey everyone:
at first, sorry for my bad english
I currently can not login to Google on my Nexus 5.
I had these problems before with Paranoid Android, thats why i came back to stock.
This was a few weeks ago, im on 4.4.4 now, rooted and a few tweeks like xposed installer and gravity box installed.
Before yesterday i had no problems, but than i installed an app called freedom.
I couldn't believe that it works, so i tested it.
A few hours later i recognized that i can not login to google, so google now, the play store, etc doesnt work.
I tried to log out and login again, but it doesnt work.
I deinstalled freedom, but that doesnt changed something.
Does anyone else got some same problems like this with freedom?
Does someone know what i can do if i dont want to hard reset my Nexus ?

[Q] Google Now Launcher issues

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.

[HELP] Pixel Almost Unusable!

Hello,
My mother's Google Pixel (original) has just run into a somewhat common problem on Android Oreo. The problem and one working solution are mentioned in the following Reddit link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...home_and_recent_buttons_stopped_working_dont/
I installed the Nova apk however when I went to choose the "Setup Wizard" activity, it is no longer there like it was a few months ago. I tried downloading older versions of Nova launcher to see if I could get it but I could not.
Does anyone know anyway in which I can force my pixel to the Setup Wizard?
Thanks!
Try with Factory Reset.
