Help!! I was messing with the widgets and when I tried Picture Frame I was asked to set a default action and accidently hit ES FileManager. Now I can't figure out how to change it to something else.
Everything I've read said select Settings->Applications->Manage->Clear Defaults but I don't know what App to clear. I cleared everything I could find that had Defaults and it still won't let me change it.
Once I do get to change it, what do I change it to?
You could uninstall both app, and reinstall. that should do the trick.
The app came with CyanoMod and I tried re-flashing the ROM without success. I suppose I could delete the user data too.
I 'think' if you go to settings - applications - manage applications and find the app your referencing then clear data it should prompt you to choose a default again.
The problem is I can't find the application. That's why I indicated I cleared defaults on every app that showed up that had the button as a choice. I may have missed it somehow. I was hoping someone could tell me which app or that it took something else to do it.
It's a widget, so you can just drag it to the trash can from your home screen to get rid of it. Also, the default you would want to clear is the app you associated it with (your file explorer app). It is looking for a folder where photos are located so it can display them. So you can navigate to the DCIM folder (or wherever your photos are located) with the file explorer program you used. But if you go to manage applications in settings you should be able to clear defaults for that file explorer app and the next time you try to use that widget it will ask you to choose what app you want to use (probably gallery would be the best choice).
Let me know if this works for you!
That was it. I was looking for a photo app not Es explorer.

I installed Launcherpro Icons and Docks from the market place and I saved a few icons to my gallery. However, it saves 2 .png icons and I can only delete one of them. The other one I can't seem to delete as the "delete" button is greyed out and the Location is unavailable. Can anyone help me delete these icons? I tried searching for them through my computer and Astro with no results.
It could be that your gallery hasn't updated its cache. It may think the image is still there even though it is not.
All the icons will be saved to /sdcard/LauncherProIcons. If the file isn't there, then it doesn't exist.
You can install a free app called Rescan Media that will help your gallery update the cache.
You could also try restarting the phone. Your cache should be updated on boot.
Thanks. I had to reset the phone to get rid of it. But since after the reset, I have not been able to push apps from the online Market site to my phone.
So I just rooted my nookcolor, got it working perfectly except for two keyboard related issues:
1. Whenever I select to use the gingerbread keyboard, no keyboard appears when I click on a data field.
2. When I click on 'Keyboard Settings' in the settings menu, it crashes to the home screen. I'm really just trying to turn off the setting that shows the pop-up when a key is pressed.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Okay so I've solved the first issue by installing the gingerbread keyboard apk, however I'm still running into the second issue. I cannot for the life of me access my keyboard settings, whenever I clicked it the screen just crashes to the home screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there an APK for settings that I could replace to get this working?
Keyboard
Look in the extras area for NookColor Tools
It's a screwed up place to put the keyboard selection but it's there!!
Thanks for the reply however I do not see an 'Extras' section. I've looked in both the Nookcolor Tools and the regular NookColor settings. I see the 'Keyboard' settings that crashes on me, however I don't see an 'Extras'. Could you point me in the right direction?
Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I know what you're talking about. However, that's not my issue. My issue is that when I click on 'Keyboard Settings' inside of settings, it crashes to home. I want to set my keys to not pop up when i type.
I also have a newly rooted NC and am having Keyboard issues too. (I just saw this thread as I was posting my own). I have the same issue of it crashing when you try and look at the settings. I also had the same issue with the GingerBread keyboard not showing up in a text field. I uninstalled it because I think it is broke.
I have been working with trying to get Japanese Keyboards to work with the nook so here is what you might want to do. It is ass backwards.. but its how I've been doing it to get keyboards to show up when I try to use them.
- Download a new/different gingerbread APK
- If you install it.. i bet you won't be able to select it from the keyboard list.. even after restart.
- Make sure in NookColorTools the check box is checkd for allowing 3rd party apps (if the bottom fails you might need to uncheck it and recheck it)
- Buy Root Explorer
- navigate in RE to the mysterious /data/app/ folder and find the apk that you
downloaded.. and copy it.
- navigate to /system/app/ and push the button at the top to allow writing of files.
paste the apk into this directory.
- hold in the file and it will prompt to install it.
- it might ask to replace existing ... say OK.
- Install successful.. now you will see the keyboard to choose from.
I was able to solve my gingerbread keyboard problem by just re-downloading the apk and pushing it to /system/apps/. after that i was able to select it and it's working just fine now.
however, my only problem now is accessing keyboard settings. it just always crashes to home screen. all i want to do is set the pop up on keyboard to off!
bump! anyone?!
So some apps such as go sms pro, power amp, etc has been clearing data randomly everytime i open it.
so everytime i open the app, it is as if i just downloaded it... everything has been reset to the original settings...
It seems to be spreading upon my apps because it started with 1 and now i have a lot more...
anyone know how to fix this? is this some sort of virus?(im not using any security apps)...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*need root*
using a file explorer (i suggest root manager) go to dbdata/databases/
find the folder that belongs to your program that is resetting itself
i.e (captivate.sgs.tools) if its sgs tools
delete it, and reboot your phone, restart app, do what you want to do (edit the settings or whatever), and then restart app again to see if its fixed.
lemme know how it goes~
hey thanks you so much! everything is working perfectly!
Hi,
using Market Fixer I inadvertently deleted my stock gallery app which also meant I couldn't use the widget for having pics of my baby daughter on my screens.
Does anyone know how I can get another copy of is there a better app that has similar functionality?
Cheers for any help.
Quickpic is much better! Set it to 32 bit colour.

I already use QuickPic but need to be able have gallery for the widget function and also to be able to change the lockscreen pic (unless I'm being dumb).
I noticed that too, that without the gallery, the option disappear also. Anyway, luckily I've just frozen it instead of deleted.
On the other hand, I think you can go to settings > Display >Screen display and change it from there. It has an option to change the wallpaper and lock screen from there.
Without the gallery installed going via settings only gives access to the wallpaper folders.
Does anyone know where I can get the gallery apk without having to factory reset?
Here you go
- Download it to your phone
- Use ES File Explorer or another file manager with root access**
- Move the APK to /system/app
- Reboot
**Press Settings -> Root Explorer [Enable it] and also enable "Mount File System". Tap and hold the star on the top left (favorites) and navigate to /system/app
i've also accidently deleted the gallery app..(dont know what i'm doing lol)..
but thanks for your guide,i manage to get it back..
lots of thanks!
You sir are a gentleman! That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much.

Could you please upload that apk! I cant seem to find it. Even i deleted gallery apk accidently. Thanks.
I've tried Google but it didn't work so basically I was downloading stuff from the internet and one of them must've had some nasty virus cause now every single time I unlock my phone I get this name-less app that pops up with this virus notification (how ironic). So I tap the menu key to bring up app switcher and the app is name-less with a white theme. So I go into the Smart Manager and check the RAM to see what information I can get but it doesn't appear there. So I go to the settings app, Application manager > Running and the very first thing, taking up like 66MB of RAM was that ad app. So I tap it and the uninstall button is greyed out! So I tap "stop" to stop the app and it finally goes away (I had the app open in that small window and it disappeared after tapping "STOP"). By go away I mean it probably just got temporarily stopped or it's frozen but if I go into the "all" tab, the first thing is this nameless ad app. 6.50MB storage used, version 1.0 . The permissions basically say it's got control of my SD card and full network access, nothing else. I don't trust it at all to not have root access but I don't think SU asked me anything about root other than file explorers and Kernel apps (was trying to find a way to overclock for fun)
tl;dr There's a nameless app that shows a fullscreen ad saying I got a virus and the uninstall button is greyed out.
I got root so is there a way of finding the location of the relevant files in ES File Explorer and deleting them maybe?
Download Samsung Package Disabler and you should be able to disable the app. Or you can try Titanium Backup and freeze the app and possibly uninstall it.

Simply factory reset, it is way better than finding the app. Format storage, then re install the rom. It will sure wiping the virus.
