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?!
Something happened to my tab's screen a while ago, where I sent it back to replace it with a new screen, but during the repairment, due to the carelessness of Samsung's employee, something happened to the search button, now the search button autostarts itself from time to time, before I deleted the voice search apk, voice search comes out by itself with vibrations repeatedly, after I deleted the voice search apk, what comes out in the same way is google search...and after I deleted google search apk and turn off the vibration, the screen would come to a state of nonresponse to any operation from time to time....
I hope there's an application which I could use to disable the search button, as I don't really use it at all, or if there's any file I could delete in the android system to do this, I am reallt tired of sending it back to samsung, which would again mean one to two months' waiting....anybody please help...
Seems nobody is willing to help here...really disappointed....

I can't say for sure but if you are running a different rom (I'm running CM7) there may be an option to disable the button... under CM7 I have an option for search key behavior, I can tell it to run a custom app, leave custom app blank and it does nothing when I press it... not sure if this helps but its a shot in the dark...
SGT+CM7=AWESOMENESS!!!
Just use freeze option on titanium backup pro (or any other).
Go to App Manager>All Apps>Kindle Special Offers. Press and select Freeze. That's all! :laugh:
That's a good clean(ish) way of doing it if you ever want them back for whatever reason.
I myself prefer the renaming method, plus if you do a factory reset after renaming the dtcp_apk.apk you get rid of the Offers tab on the Home screen as it never gets installed again otherwise it stays there but brings up a small toast notification saying it can't run if you tap it.
I tried the first method but it didn't work for me... This one did!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm... Strange that it wouldn't work, but go with whatever works best for you, at least there's multiple methods to disable them
Doesnt work for me either. I even deleted the apk accidently and I still get ads
Hello. I bought an HTC One. It´s my first day using it and I have some kind of app that goes by the name of aktyw.
It keeps opening randomlly and gets in the way of whatever I am doing. Its a transparent add, I can see throught to whatever I was doing, but I can´t press anything. The only Way around is to go to the recent apps and swype It up. Untill it comes again.
PS: I can´t find nothing on the web about it.
I had been previously able to select a feature in settings which allowed me to instantly access my home screen/whatever screen I was using at the time when I started up my phone. Now, after having downloaded the update, it seems I can't do that anymore. Did they make it so you HAVE to swipe up to access the phone or is there another way to get back what was probably my favorite feature on the entire phone?
EDIT: Nevermind, I solved it. Just downloaded the No Lock app. No idea how to delete threads. Sorry.
