See thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522226
Update 2/15/12:
Added "OTA Block" to the version number
Update 2/8/12:
Added OTA Block
Added Version Number
Added Root test. This will prevent it from crashing if /system/bin/su does not exist.
Update 1/27/12:
Updated Link
Update 1/14/12:
Configured busybox to make symbolic links instead of copies
Uninstall previous version before install this version
Update 1/11/12:
Added AdamOutler's BHT
Added ability to run the adb daemon as root and automatically turn off auto mount with one click. This does not require a reboot. If you reboot, everything goes back to their normal state. I will add an option to restore everything without a reboot in the near future. I am using the adb daemon from Indirect's ADB hijack that he got from Nemith. Credit to Indirect and Nemith.
Update 1/10/12:
Fix an issue for users without busybox. This should now work even if you do not have busybox installed.
Update 12/30/2011:
Fix for 1.4.1; it will allow you to install from unknown sources. (You must be rooted to use this feature. The nook might take a minute or two before realizing that the setting has changed. If you reboot, it speeds up the process.)
Update 12/29/2011:
I added the Account and Sync settings and make the back button work properly.
Account and Sync Settings

Hello all! My fiance picked one of these up as a gift for Christmas, I have a quick Q. I was able to get the APP installed, but to access the app, I have to reinstall it every time, it doesn't show up in the files list?
Are there any hints suggestions?
Also I checked off the Allow 3rd party apps, and it still won't allow me to read APK files from the default file explorer...
Thanks in advance!

The standard Nook Apps manager will not display third party or sideloaded apps/games. You'll need an alternate Apps manager for that, eg Go Launcher.
There is an older version of Nook Color Apps Manager (pre 1.2) in the marketplace that you could install. This will display all the third party apps on your Nook homepage.
The Allow Thirs Party apps is ticked by default. Just need to untick and retick it to enable it properly.
Where ?

However, this app does the job I need.
How do I uninstall programs or applications? My Note keeps doing a "forced shutdown" and I need to find out what program or application is causing it.

settings/applications/ click the ALL tab.....scroll to the bottom and click it and unistall it. or use Tibu to manage your apps. you can remove them that way as well.
That did not work - I even cleared the cache and it updated it all right back.
Hi guys,
I have Amlogic S812 streamer Xtreamer Wonder and it's running on 4.4.2 Android.
In the Settings menu there is no possibility (no menu at all) to add another Google account in addition to the one that was created initially. As a result all Google apps such Play Market, Gmail, Drive etc, working with one and only account without ability to switch to another one if needed. It's especially limiting with Paid apps which was bought under different accounts...
I tried to search all over the internet for the similar issue, but surprisingly did not found any ...
All the rest functionality is as usual, I also have root, thanks to the Rooting Guide by C3C076
Any help is very appreciated!
This is how Settings menu looks like :
Unfortunately, this firmware disable this feature.
So, to change google account, you have to use adb tool and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file (if box is root) and add another account.
If box isn't root, you have to factory reset this box to add new account

Thanks for your answer water275, but is what you mean is just removing existing and adding a new one, but there still will be only one account ?
I tried to use few different apps which can manage existing accounts and I had there the option to remove account, but not to add. So in order to remove i think i can use this way, instead of adb. But what about to have multiple accounts? Absolutely impossible ?
What is interesting is that those account management apps allowed me to go into sync options for existing accounts. So it looks like the Xtreamer just hiding required functionality (menus) and not completely removed them. I was thinking in direction of xml files which are responsible for menu layouts, but i have not too much knowledge with them...
You can use Gmail. When you slide left panel in, there's an arrow next to your profile name. When you expand it you will see "Manage accounts" menu option.
Alternatively you can use my simple app (attached) I created for this purpose.

You right :good::good::good:
Gmail not allowing to add account guys. There is no such option. If it could be this way then it would be simple

Sorry mate, what do you mean ? 2nd and 3rd screenshots is from your app. Where 2nd one is straight after I launch your app and 3rd one if I choose google account and then click on options on the right side.

Sorry, you are right. I got confused because of launching that app on my phone which runs lollipop. It unfortunately behaves differently on KitKat.
I'll try your app on my android stick in car, there is also 4.4.2 just to compare, but as i said earlier even that menu that your app shows is not available from the usual settings menu, so it seems like Xtreamer just hiding these menus for some reasons.

Yeah. But the screenshot above is a result of launching app on lollipop. Looks like the same call yields different results on KitKat.

For some reason on my Android stick in the car your app can't be installed. I have Install and Cancel buttons, but Install not clickable. I'll try similar app from the store later.
Found solution !
The reason is that Xtreamer installed custom Gmail app that is not asking for update and installed as a system app (you can't uninstall it in usual way). This app have no option to add/manage account as I shown on the screenshots above.
Thanks to ROOT i was able to remove that app completely from /system/apps , and installed official Gmail app from the store. In the official app there is full managing functionality for accounts and i was able to add multiple gmails there.
I highly recommend to uninstall pre-installed Drive and Youtube apps too.
In the general settings menu of Android there is still no manage account section, but at least I can get there through Gmail now.
Thanks to everybody for your help !
As my title says, the disable device administrator option is greyed out. I'm trying to temporarily uninstall Greenify while I investigate an overheating related issue on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I don't have any issues with Greenify other than this but, I assume that I'm missing some setting in Greenify itself that causes me not to be able to disable the Greenify Automator device administrator.
Thanks for any help I can get with this issue.
I know it's been over 2 years, but did you find away past this? I have the same grayed out deactivate button on an app I want to remove. Thanks

No, I didn't. I've since replaced that device. I'm sorry for not being able to help you.

Use the Settings in Greenify and go to Troubleshooting and click "Device-admn privilege/uninstall". It will be deactivated from Device Admn and you can uninstall then. The other option is to use TiBU, if you use it, to uninstall Greenify.

-hibernation still not working on redmi note 3 miui9
The oppo 10x seems to be my best option after weighing out my person cons and pro's regarding the s10+, oneplus 7 pro and p30 pro.
However im concerned regarding some things.
I have read some notifications dont work on older coloros versions and phones. is this fixed?
What about other annoyances and issues?
Can we replace the phone app with a other phone app? Because some UI idiot at oppo decided to place the menu buttons on top of the screen.
Can we already film using the telephoto lens? This was not possible in earlier models.
Are macro shots any good? i love taking macro photos.
I was considering the oppo but now I'm pulled to the redmi k20 pro, but I am not sure which one will have more development, boatloader unlock, root.
ColorOS is the worst Android fork ever... Constantly kills backrounds apps, even prevent the use of Dev options. Avoid Oppo.
Color os isn't that bad. Definitely not great but now with the app drawer it will be much better. I had 0 issues getting notifications on my find X after modifying some settings. First thing I did was use adb to delete oppo launcher (installed Nova first ) and it was a excellent phone
I have use a lot of phones but the big reason to don't get the Oppo is ColorOS, it's just disgusting.
I'm also considering the Reno 5G. Since we already have 5G in Switzerland there are a few phones available. the S10 5G and the Mate X 5G don't interest me. I have bad experience with notifications coming late.
So the Reno and the Mi Mix 5G look good. Is ColorOS really that bad? What about the MIUI? The same? If yes, I probably buy a non 5G Oneplus
The thing is Limuxkek, you cant seem to use fastboot tools on the reno 10x

This is the guide I used to install Nova and remove the oppo launcher. The command to remove the launcher should be the same on the Reno. Adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher
Just make sure you install Nova (or whatever launcher you want to use before using the adb uninstall command)

I think that the error occurred because of the removal oppo.market. But so far I will not check))

There was still a problem with notifications, checked only on instagram - notifications appear only when the application is started, although all permissions are set and restrictions are removed in the power saving settings.

What don't you like about it? Just the looks or doesn't it work good?
Are there real problems (for example with notifications)?
In your opinion, is MIUI the better choice?
I have to disagree owning the 10x as my first Oppo smartphone for a few days now.
ColorOS isn't that bad, it has its quirks as any other OS.
That said coming from OxygenOS.
