I rooted the Nook Tablet using adb and NookandZergy, installed the Go Launcher EX, and had no problems until an accidental tick of the "default launcher" box. I know there are several Q and A posts on the subject, but none seem to have my particular problem.
- I seem to have no access to the developer setting or anything outside of the standard Nook settings. I don't see a way to access the developer settings, though when I plug the NT into a usb port, the notification for developer mode does come up.
- I have no "web" access, as in, I have no ability to open a web browser. I believe I may have deleted it when installing the root using one of the DOS options. The same goes for the search function.
- Going through the "library" app, I can see the android system UI files, etc., but nothing that could seem to help. I also can't launch any .apk files. The NT cannot read the file and claims it is an unsupported format.
I know I have tgps_launcher installed, at least I'm 95% certain that I do. I cannot seem to access it, unless I'm unaware of all the ways to do so. I think I've provided all the info surrounding this. If I have to nuke it and reroot, I will, though I would like to avoid that option and am unsure how to do so.
Any help is appreciate. Thanks in advance.
How to switch the default home launcher for HomeCatcher once I've already set it?... This link is in my FAQ >> i would suggest you to read it.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately this isn't possible solution, as it requires use of the "search" function. The search function for the NT Home was removed during the rooting process and is unavailable.
For the sake of argument, I tried to look for some sort of search functionality and found nothing. The only option, as I stated before, was to use the "library" app search function. This only displays actual Nook apps, however (Crossword, etc.).

Clever! Unfortunately, that was a no-go too. I went through Nook Friends to get to the google sign-in page, from there I got a mock google.com homepage going and found a download, but none of the ones I tried would work, the psuedo-browser would just crash.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to remove the stock launcher, but my gf actually prefers that interface to the Go Launcher (it's her device, I'm just doing the heavy lifting for her). I think I'm going to cut my losses and do the manual reset from your FAQ. Going with that, are there any launchers that more closely resemble the original Nook Home, or maybe a method of importing some of the icons/functionality of the rooted stuff to the Home? In any case, I'm going to be looking putting AnyCut and/or NT Hidden Settings to have several backups in case this happens again.
Thanks again for your help.

You can use stock launcher and still have an alternative one for when you use it (lets say) and change between them by using homecatcher or another app like home switcher, you may want to go to B&N setting > search> searchable items and check more items there; also in the quick tips section of my FAQ tell you what app to use to add android apps to default nook home launcher.
BTW just checking when i opened the netflix app you get some links there to open browser but if its crashing then you probably have to start from scratch 'cause that's not normal behave anyway.

Had the same thing happen to a friend's NT that I had rooted for him, and besides all that you mentioned "Button Savior" was there but didn't do anything. You are pretty much stuck.
I ended up having to do the 8+ factory resets and re-rooting, and then restoring everything from TiBackup. At least once you have the drivers working on your computer it's really not that big of a deal. I read somewhere that it might be related to "Homecatcher" but not sure about that.

Has anyone had any issues registering within the ChatOn app? I am able to get my verification code via text msg (which is automatically filled in and skips to next step), but when I enter my name I get an endless "Waiting..." progress meter. (Trying to register through the website only refers me back to the app.)
I tried this over LTE and wireless without any success. I did notice the keyboard icon in the notification bar, and the notice says "Ongoing: Select input type" (or something similar), so I wondered if it got stuck on that step somewhere. I do select my keyboard there (Swiftkey) without any result.
I've also tried using the default Samsung keyboard, but same thing.
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app?

Yep, I did that a few times. But I forgot that this is no longer an issue. Shortly after posting the thread, the I was able to complete the installation.
I've since disabled the app. I was under the impression it was a catch-all messenger, not that it required setting up on other peoples' phones too. I really just wanted to have something that I could both MSN in general and BBM my sister (who's stuck on BB).
Thx
I posted this on the General forum a couple of days ago - obviously the wrong place since it's been ignored.
So, trying again here, ....
I downloaded the app QuickSpell from MobiSytems.
To use it for everything, I select QuickSpell for the Spell checker in the Android Language & input settings. When I reboot, the setting reverts back to the Android default.
When I choose QuickSpell, I get a warning dialog that says that what I type, including passwords & credit card numbers, may be captured & used for nefarious purposes... OK, not quite that phrase, but basically that gist. I have to select OK in order for the setting to change.
I power down then back up, then look at the Spell checker setting: it's back to the Android default. Something else also resets: the Google voice typing setting re-enables itself. I have no clue about that either.
I've tried disabling the Dictionary Provider app before rebooting... the setting is back to the default. I haven't been able to figure out what generates the warning message, nor if there is any other app that could be disabled to help.
My Nexus 10 is mostly standard: Android 4.2.2 (the latest update), the Nova launcher and Lookout Premium as my security app. I know that that us not the problem, even though it does scan for privacy data access. I've emailed their support & gotten a reply saying that they do not change anything, just do their scans and report the results to let the user decide what to do.
I've emailed MobiSystems support & gotten nothing back but an automated reply.
Any suggestions for what to try to either make the setting sticky, or to track down the culprit so that they can tell me how to make it sticky?
Also, what is the easiest-to-use, best keyboard app for Android systems. I really hate this default one. (QuickSpell does help by learning enough to correct the most obvious of my typing mistakes.... now if it can learn what to do when I hit the N or B keys instead of the space bar so wordsbrunbtogethetnlikebvnthis....)
Thanks for your help!

I've found a couple pages on this throughout the forum but nothing definitive to fix this. A couple people responded on my reddit thread saying they also have this issue but could not be fixed. I really hope someone has an answer for me because it is extremely annoying
When clicking certain links, the complete action using (application) dialog shows up even when *always* is clicked.
Per the advice on other threads, I have tried: 1)Clearing defaults 2)clearing cache on the apps I think are the culprit 3)uninstalled apps I thought was the culprit 4)going to application manager and resetting app preferences (this brought back all the apps I froze but did not fix the problem)
Under the launch by default I can see that the default apps I chose are there so the system is receiving my request but is not executing it. This only happens with certain launch types, as Nova launcher is launched probably when I press home button, phone calls are dialed with my preferred dialer, but links that require a browser, apk links (play store etc) and youtube links will always ask
I think I have done everything short of just reinstalling my phone which I don't want to do. For reference I have a Note 3 / 4.4.2 / Stock fimware / rooted.
I am running some XPosed frameworks, the only one that might conflict is CompleteActionPlus but I have tried uninstalling it already and no change.
This didn't use to be a problem but I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened. Another app I thought might be the culprit was Link Bubble but uninstalling that didn't help either.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Anybody with any ideas?
Not sure when this started as I rarely go into an apps settings outside of the app itself. What I noticed is when I go into Android Settings then Apps then pick any app from the list, as soon as I select an app it moves to that apps screen and automatically pops up with a force close message about stopping the app even though I didn't press anything. I'll try to post some screen shots later. The worst part is it gets caught in a repetitive loop no matter what you press. The only way out is via the home screen button or the app switcher. Nothing else is malfunctioning but I cannot find a way to make it stop.

After a few months of off-and-on trying to figure out how to solve this bug and see what caused it, I finally post here and within an hour I figure it out. It turns out the issue has to do with the app: Android Assistant when under Accessibility the App's permission is set to ON under installed Services. I've emailed the app developer to point out that bug.
