I recently rooted my Nook HD, running 2.0.5, using the universal root via CWM. Shortly thereafter I lost access to the "General" tab in the settings.
I can't access it directly, nor can I access it when I try to get to the keyboard setting directly, nor through the sound settings.
Every time I try it force closes and I get a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" message.
I've tried resetting the device and rerooting it and the same thing happens.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Had the same problem. Have you, per chance, installed voice search? If so try disabling it or uninstalling it temporarily and seeing if general settings work.

I am sure he just blindly installed voice search without reading the instructions. I am going to have to do something about this so users won't do that.
Edit: I just added some BIG warnings to the post. Maybe that will help.

Why would I think there are special instructions to sideload Voice Search?
Maybe if there was a specific thread addressing it the issue would be more visible, instead of it being buried in your root thread. I don't read every single thread on here before attempting a sideload. Also, I searched your root thread among others for the term "general" hoping to get some answers about the General settings force closing, but because you wrote "Then you can go to settings/general without it crashing." with the two words connected, I got no results. So I tried to find a solution to the best of my ability before posting my question short of reading every thread.
I appreciate all the work you've done for us on here leapinlar, but I'd appreciate a little more respect.

It's not your fault. The instructions I followed were not written by you and said nothing of installing Voice Search. Had I read your instructions I would have installed it properly. I think a thread named something like "Installing Voice Search on rooted Nook HD/HD +" with a quick explanation would have caught my eye. It is redundant but for someone like me that roots and installs gapps without your instructions, it is an easy to find solution.

Smart Quick settings doesn't circumvent the problem with the General Settings force closing. You can't use Smart Quick Settings to access keyboard settings nor date and time settings. Both of those exist in the General Settings.

True, you cannot get to those two with Smart Quick Settings, but you can get to the keyboard settings and input selection from the keyboards themselves without going through general. And the general time setting only lets you change timezone and 24hour format. How often are you going to change those? If you travel a lot, I guess some.
And using anycut you can set a shortcut to date and time without going through general.

just go into settings, sounds vibrate > always (or whatever you want). this however only affects the phone call, for individual apps like gmail or sms you have to go into the settings of those and set it to vibrate.
also for searching you have to be creative in your search terms doing vibrate in this forum gives http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=41720678, and the 4th or 5th result mentions like i said to go into the system settings and sound and set it.
Edit it was the 3rd result that gave http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7120509&highlight=vibrate#post7120509
after you change the settings to always vibrate, you can then long press the end key and select silent. This will put the phone into vibrate mode as indicated by the icon in the notification bar.
You can also toggle this in the lock screen when you have to swipe left to put the phone into vibrate mode as well.

Music control returns to notification shade after being disabled and after a reboot.
Doesn't happen all of the time, may be related to using ADB
Box in music app remains unchecked and must be checked and unchecked again to make controls disappear again.
Home screen displays momentarily before lock screen.
Multiple reports
No apparent impact but it shouldn't happen.
Happens with WidgetLocker too.
External SD does not mount every time.
Can't be seen, can't be remounted
I think it only happens after a "reboot" not a Power Off/Power On cycle
Only known workaround is full Power Off/On
Not sure if it's widespread so independent verification would be good.

Workaround is to use manual brightness setting.
Stock Lockscreen showing all messages, unread or otherwise
Only happens if you use an alternative Messaging app (HandCent, Chomp etc)
Displays total number of messages in stock app
Fix is to remove/lock messaging and mms apps in /system/app/ (see here and here)
This has consequences (nothing major) so read up about it first.
Can anybody verify behaviour with stock messaging app?
Stock Weather app is not location aware and is slow to update

Lockscreen showing unread messages, even when all are read, when using third party messaging apps like handcent.

about the messages on the lockscreen:
it shows unread msgs in stock msg-app. Open stock app and read your msgs, you'll see.
setting Notification off in stock app makes no difference, i tried that right away.
My "fix" was to use goto lockscreen instead.
I suppose one could just freeze the msg-app with titanium, but i haven't tried that myself.

Your signature says you have a NavBar. I don't have a HTC One yet. Hopefully it'll come this week, but I do know that the HTC One doesn't have a navbar and if you have one, that could possibly be the culprit. Especially if it's the type that pops up when you hit a certain part of the screen like Paranoid Android Pie Controls. Usually these types of apps pause themselves when you're trying to install something, but it could be a bug, or something that hasn't been configured to pause and restart when installing something.
I'm not 100% sure this is the culprit, but it's a good possibility that you have an overlay app and just don't realize it. Pop up widgets, Unity type launchers, anything that pops up when you touch a certain part of the screen, but isn't shown otherwise.

To do this I installed all the files in the directories in the System folder, and then I did a reboot
Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!
- Master Ramy
PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.

Sure, but I also understand its an adjustment somewhere in a system database file to change the limit, I found instructions for a Galaxy S3 phone, but its not in the same place. I was hoping one of the devs of said Roms could point me to the right file so I can adjust it manually on stock.

My phone is rooted and I'm on Dirty Unicorns 5.02. I'm not sure what system you're on but I've sent out 150 messages without an issue using Group SMS Pro. It will ask me to Wait or Kill the app while sending bulk sms, but I hit Wait and everything goes through. Also, I don't send much more than 200 messages at a time because even on KitKat that seemed to be an issue.
So? Did it work?

So? Did it work? I think not, but your promised update would be appreciated.
I to would like to figure out how to work around this limit. I am on Benzo rom 5.1 and under settings/security you can select 30, 50, 100 or 200 but it's a dead setting apparently because I can select 50, 100 or 200 and I still have to approve any text over 30. Did you figure out how to fix it? I tried the linked google play apps to get around but no luck so far
Flash a custom rom - like what was posted in post #2.
Other than that, you're probably out of luck, OP. Just do what anyone else here would do if they *just have to have that ability* - flash the rom.
Thanks for the reply but I will NOT flash LS because everytime I have tried it it borks my phone and I've been dumb enough to try it "one more time" too many times and paid the price. I know it's probably something I'm doing and not the roms fault but done with that one..........:cyclops:
I went back and looked at the app posted above called SMS Limit Unlock and played around a bit more. I changed the Restriction cycle time and Restriction message amount settings a few times when I was in there before but never clicked on 'Unlock'. I did that this time and it went thru a progression and then said I needed to reboot for settings to take hold. I sorta forgot that step before thinking the Unlock was to convert to the paid version of the app. I rebooted just in time to give it a try and it worked exactly as it should so I got it to work correctly.
Figured I'd post this in the thread so in case someone else does a google search on SMS limit problems and they get directed to this thread as I did, hopefully this will work for them as well. I am on Benzo 5.1 and it worked...... Yippeeeee

Hello,
I send a lot of text messages to nearly 200 contacts on a semi regular basis. I have an excellent app that does it well. The only issue is I constantly get permission messages saying I'm sending too many and if I wanna authorize more, its very annoying and if I don't accept it as soon as it comes up, will usually delay my messages.
So my question is, how do I remove/change that SMS limit on Android 5.0? IRS definitely baked into the OS cause as I said, any SMS app gets the same issue.
All help and thoughts appreciated!

PS: I tried a couple SMS limit apps on the Play Store, nothing updated for lollipop yet.

1. Root Phone
2. Download/Install a Different SMS(texting) app from the Google Store
I chose to use the 'Go SMS PRO app
3. Download a Root Uninstaller
I used 'Root Uninstaller Free'
4. Uninstall the stock SMS app, it's called 'Text Messaging' I believe. Can't quite remember
5. Profit!!! Just remember to check the setting in your new SMS app for any limit. In Go SMS PRO you can turn off any limit or have it save upto 100+ texts and then start deleting old ones.
I'm not really sure if uninstalling the stock app can actually cause problems, but a few people told me it Could.
It obviously worked fine on Android 5.0 :laugh:
Have Root Will Work

Yes, SMS Limit Unlock did work. Right above your post I said that I sent out about 200 messages with no issues. Some ROMs like BeanStalk, by the way, have SMS limit settings.
