I have a NookColor 1.0.1 fully re-rooted with Market, Calendar, Calculator, etc. available as specified with the AutoNooter. My only problem is that when I try to change wallpapers I don't see any options for LiveWallpapers - just the Wallpaper and Photo Gallery option that were always there. I've done a manual reinstall of the live wallpaper apk noted in nookdev but with no change in what happens. I've restarted the NC several times with no changes in this. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi.. try following this GUIDE.. please make sure you are doing all the steps.. take your time as this involves moving a few "so" files.
Actually if u use Auto-Nooter, you dont need to do this...
Well, I also did everything in the GUIDE for this - reinstalled the .apk and two .so files in the appropriate directories - rebooted. When I touch the home screen and choose the choose/change wallpaper option, I only see Wallpapers and Photo Gallery - nothing about Live Wallpapers.
I've got the same problem.

Beats me.. i re-rooted my NC and i get LWP...
If you have root explorer, run it and go to /data/app
scroll down to LiveWallpapers.apk and touch & hold.
in the pop-up select permissions.
it should read
Read Write Execute
User X X
Group X
Others X
if you have these you shouldn't be seeing any problems.
Sounds like your using the built in book wallpaper interface. You'll. Have to use the wallpaper picked for whatever alternate launcher you're using. Usually this can be accomplished by a long press on the home screen selecting wallpapers and then selecting live wallpapers.

Problem Resolved!
Dawynkoop hit the nail on the head! I was working within B&N's launcher. I installed ADW.Launcher and, within that, had no problem selecting LiveWallpapers that I had downloaded. Thanks everybody for your thoughts on this!
So I booted in to webos last night, which I haven't used since installing xron Rom, and wow the wallpaper in webos looks sharp, back in android however its so blurry whatever resolution image I apply, HP touchpad wallpaper applier app force closes on open,(I read somewhere it has some workaround to apply full quality images, but the app will not work at all for me) is they any way to set a high quality wallpaper?? Will ICS look sharper??

Search market for wallpaper set and save.

The icons seem fine to me, but I did have issues with the wallpaper.
From:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18549711&postcount=42
Recommended to use an image that is 1536 x 1024 so android doesn't scale the image. I also use Wallpaper Wizardrii from market that does pretty good too.
Hopefully ICS will make things better as it handles the larger screen and all kinds of screen resolution.
Cheers will try those apps, I have used that Res before but still looked off to me :/
or just search the market for "hp touchpad" and install the wallpaper applier. built for the touchpads.

I had it preinstalled on xron, force closes everytime I try to use it, uninstalled and reinstalled from market and it still didn't work.
WALLPAPER WIZARDRII did the trick, great app!
As, weird. Glad you got it sorted. Makes such a difference.

Thanks to some helpful folks here I've been able to install ADW Launcher EX on my unrooted KFHD. For the time being I would like to keep it unrooted. The question I have is, is it possible to change the wallpaper? When I first installed ADW, I couldn't change the wallpaper at all, I received the "there is no app that is capable of performing that function" pop-up dialog. Installing an uninstalling another launcher appeared to add or unlock wallpaper changing. But the puzzle is that I see only one wallpaper with no way of locating other wallpapers.
So for an unrooted KFHD running ADW Launcher EX, what tool should I use to change wallpapers and where do those wallpapers need to be placed? Or is it only possible when rooted?
Thanks in advance.
Try Backgrounds HD Wallpapers form the Play store. I had the same problem with my root KFHD and that solved the problem. It has some included and an included browser to search for more online. It will set the pic for you as wallpaper. and it's free!
I took my gallery from my Galaxy S2, and dropped it in System/App changed permissions and worked perfectly. I can change wallpapers from within this app now.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll have to play around with it to see if it allows for selecting locally stored (on the KFHD itself) wallpapers.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that would only work if the device is rooted. I'm looking to a solution for unrooted devices.

Sorry did not read that you where unrooted.
Hello everyone. I am successfully rooted with GAPPS and everything installed. I really *really* want to use NOVA Launcher (which I have installed fine and is functioning correctly) however I cannot open the Kindle app. I know in order to use it you must update it to the latest version, which works until you reboot your kindle. I however don't want to do this. I want to keep using the 'Books' tab from the default launcher. I like everything it gives me so I really want to just stick with it. That is the only thing keeping me from making NOVA my default launcher. Is there a way I can find it and put it in nova?
Thanks! Also, as my first post, hello. I am Brandon.
Not that I know of, you have two options. Go to the kindle launcher when you want to read a book or mark the books you are currently reading as favorites. You can easily launch directly into a book from the favorites menu from nova launcher.

I moved the kindle app to (data apps) after reboot works fine.
The “Kindle app" from the play store? I think he wants to use the preinstalled stock kindle tab?

Not sure I understand why you cannot use the default launcher to open the books tab. In the app drawer open the home app. This should take you into the original amazon launcher.
Followind the [email protected] 7,2,2 OTA, I re-rooted, renstalled ADW Launcher etc etc... In ADW was't impossible to install widgets and wallpapers: solved for static wallpaper downloading Wallpapers HD, live wallpapers still not working.
I found no way to get widgets working. Has someone suggestions? Thanks
SOLVED! thanks to cdictio see his post down the page

Same issue, but with Go Launcher. I try to add a widget and it briefly says 'loading' but then nothing happens afterwards. Interestingly, the Go Launcher widgets can be added just fine, the list of them populates and they can be added, so the fundamental mechanism seems fine and because it happened on ADW it doesn't appear to be a launcher-specific issue.

I am having the same problem since the 7.2.2 update. My KFHD is unrooted (I do not have the expertise to do it and do not want to void my warranty), but learned here how to use the ADW launcher (Thanks!). Widgets already installed still work, but can't add new ones to the homescreens. I have had a couple of other issues since the update, and spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS yesterday without resolution--she wanted me to deregister, and if that didn't work to do a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that at this point as I don't want to lose my widgets that are still working.
Other issues since update: Business Calendar app and KFHD calendar app will not sync with my Google calendar (they did before).
Notifications are muted, but sound anyway. For now, I will just use the Google calendar on a Chrome webpage, and turn off my Wifi at night so notification sounds won't wake me up, but am not pleased about having to use work-arounds!

Tried and it works!
It solved my widget problem with ADW. I hope it will work for the other launchers too.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
it solved also the live wallpaper problem! The trik was to move the picker to system\apps, change permissions and NOT install : just leave it there: exacliy as for the widgets picker. Thanks again
Had similarv issues. Installed APEX Launcher and everything works fine.

Is there an option for unrooted KFHD? I was thrilled to find your solution for recovering access to widgets after 7.2.2 upgrade. However after attempting several times I can not copy your apk to system/app... I have concluded that it is because my Kindle is unrooted?????
The widgets were working with 7.2.1 then immediately after the upgrade I could no longer access them to place on screen. Everything else with ADWlauncher EX v1.3.3.8 Is still working with no problems, including still being able to place shortcuts and folders on the homescreen.

I would also like to know if you can get widgets to work without root, as I am not too keen on trying to obtain root access again after almost bricking it the day I got it....

Voted up, thanks!
To those who are unrooted, did Amazon customer service provide any additional info regarding this problem? Hope you get it fixed!
No, CS didn't provide any info, and I was kicked up a level from the first rep. Saw in another thread that there's already a 7.2.3 update, but mine hasn't updated yet. Hopefully that will help. I have noticed that since 7.2.2 my speakers haven't done the random loud pop.

After several attempts with Amazon getting NO HELP because app is sideloaded and not from their App Store. Someone in the Amazon forum said upgrade 7.2.3 apparently helped, but has made no difference for me.
CAN ANYONE HELP?? Please!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
