I looked at a lot of threads already and can't seem to find a solution. Looks like someone messed up the settings on my touchpad and I can't get the three soft keys and taskbar on the bottom to appear . The button on the top right to go to the app menu is gone also.
There is no way to get onto the setting menu unless I restart the touchpad and use the "low battery" button to get to Battery on settings. Is there anyway to get onto the setting menu with no soft key / app menu ? If I can just access the setting without restarting every time can I can try to fix the problems.
Did you go to system, buttons and layout

Not really sure what you mean by you can only get into settings with the low battery button. But there is an app in your app drawer called settings that takes you to the settings. Also, you could have expanded desktop on so long press the power button and see if you have the option there. If not go into settings and then "system" and look at your expanded desktop options.

Hold down a finger on the home screen, then go into Launcher Settings, see if you can enable the Dock. May have been disabled by mistake.
If that is not available, go into Apps and then access Settings from there.

Hi guys, I didn't see this asked anywhere else. If I missed it, feel free to lock or delete this post.
Rooted my Nook with AutoNooter, all has been perfect for days. Now, all of a sudden, none of my apps will rotate to landscape: Market, Gmail, built in browser, Opera, nothing. The weird thing is my homescreens will rotate (I'm using Zeam), and things like angry birds that load in landscape are fine. Any suggestions?
Have you checked your settings? There is a setting that can be toggled under display to enable auto rotation. I would give you the specifics but my NC is at home.
I saw that option in the Zeam settings, and it is enabled, that's why my homescreen still rotates. I can't find a setting that would control the apps rotation. I don't know if this is a Zeam issue, since everything on my homescreen is okay. And it happened all of a sudden, I hadn't changed any settings or fiddled with anything anywhere else. All I did yesterday was check my email and play angry birds
It should be a setting for your Nook Color not Zeam. In your apps drawer find NookColorTools. Then look for a display setting.
Okay, here is another stupid question... when I go into my nook color tools, my "back" and "menu" buttons dissappear from the bottom of my screen, so how do I back out of a menu? The only thing I can do is hit my n button to go back to the home screen, and when I go BACK into nook color tools, it is still in the same menu I was at before. I can't find a way to get to the main color tools menu. I've killed all my running apps, and color tools still wont go back to it's main menu. Shutting the nook off works, but that's a pain in the butt. I don't want to remap my volume buttons, because I use them all the time. Is that my only option? I don't have this problem with any other app, just nook color tools.
Thanks guys!
Edit: Found the setting in Color tools, so that problem is fixed. I don't know how that setting got "unchecked" I haven't been in the settings recently???? oh well, it's fixed.
...but I still don't know how to back out of a menu in nook color tools without shutting down the device.

You can go back a screen anywhere as long as you can see the black bar on the bottom of the screen. All you have to do is swipe your finger from right to left and it will go back. You can also get Button Savior or SoftKeys from the market and they will allow you to have buttons display over the top on the screen so they are always there
Thanks! I forgot about the swipe feature. I have softkeys but i don't like the additional buttons hovering. I just use the back and menu buttons on my status bar and have my n button programmed to go to my launchers homescreen. Nice and clean and simple. Just the way i like it
Thanks again everyone!!

Like everyone knows, we do not have back button in NC. This causes inconvenience with recovery menus. It's possible to get the back menu option to show by scrolling the menu down enough. Unfortunately it won't show up in the current menu, only if you open a new menu item it appears.
So is it possible to make the back option on by default somehow? What about refreshing current menu?

Hmm. I don't think so. At least with .28 it was just second select button. Maybe was not always like that? Power button works in 3.2.0.1?
Yes, power is back.

I'm not running any extra virtual key apps... What I want to do... is have the physical N button do a BACK on 1 click, and HOME on 2 clicks... Or normal click BACK, and LONG click HOME...
I've looked through some of the settings - can't tell how to set that up (if at all).
Any thoughts?
Why not use the soft keys built in to CM7?
Sometimes the status bar is gone... either because something causes it to hide, or because I hide it.

The best setup so far (imho), is to set the soft keys show up at volume button press.
Since the power button or N button tend to fail sometimes.
By doing that, you can hide soft keys with no fear and just presse volume button to bring they back to the screen, flawless.
@blauson
I hate doing that because if I need to change volume I need to leave the app, go into settings, and change it manually. :/
Somehow my "n" button got turned into a back button. Weird. Would much rather haave it be a menu button. but I dont even know how it changed in the first place! lol

I second on that.
I'm running nightly 131.
No problem to change the volume neither to show up soft keys.
I use the N key to cancel full screen. Its more comfortable to use than the volume keys for me.
Hrm.. that would work... Where do I configure what the N key does?

This is how I've been doing it as well, but sometimes it brings me all the way back to home after showing the status bar. Do you ever experience that? Any tips if so?
Regardless, I like my volume buttons to be... well... volume buttons.
You could use button savior to have a never-hide home only option button located on the very right side by the N button, leaving that slot unused on adw launcher and treat it as a "permanent" home button.

That's precisely why I haven't used the n button - if there is a way to avoid it, that would be fantastic!

The best thing I ever did was install zMooth. Its a gesture bar that lets you draw the buttons. Almost like my old pre.

It has always worked well for me. Have you used the nook screen recalibrate app? Before I ran that I had a really hard time getting the lower part of my screen to recognize my touch. I think there are some sensitivity settings in the zMooth app you can play around with too.

Out of nowhere my three dots in Google Play have disappeared and I'm unable to pull up the menu/settings. All I have in the top corner is the search funtion. How do I retrieve this? I use LMT instead of the stock bars for navigation. I even tried freezing 'Soft Key Bar' in apps. Rebooted, and no change. Any help would be kindly appreciated.

It depends on how you set up LMT. Did you assign a menu option to your pie? The three dots on the pie was mine and I used that to access menu options inside of apps
Thanks for the quick response. I've setup my pie with the home, back, menu (which I thought would access all menus within all apps) and OpenNotificationBar. Is there another menu command within LMT that I'm missing?
Lower your dpi in the build.prop
Open build.prop file and edit this line only.
ro.sf.lcd_density=240 <--------Set this value to 180. Back out of build.prop, save when asked. Reboot. Check.

I'm a little hesitant about editing the build.prop. Is there another way? What about re-installing the Play Store?
If you are hesitant about it that's ok. I don't know any other way. But the edit is harmless, I promise. You just have to be careful that you don't accidentally edit anything else.
You will notice that the lock screen is different.... but that's OK. You can download 2 apps to have a custom lock screen like widget locker or magic locker. I'll post links if you so desire.
If you want to skip my advice all together... well that's your prerogative. But you may be waiting a while for another fix.
Here's 2 pictures showing the difference. The top is with dpi of 240. The bottom is dpi 180. With mainkeys =1
****UPDATE****
This is with
A) softbar.apk removed from /system/app,
B) qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
C) dpi set at 180.
Perfect.
I should mention that I have go keyboard installed and xSettings installed with stock locker option disabled. With widget locker installed. And LMT soft keys installed.

I tried both, widget locker and magic locker, neither seemed to work for me after changing my DPI. Any suggestions?

Oddly enough, I have an app called Fullscreen Toggle that I installed to take away the soft key bar, which has been working just fine. In this app, I decided to try re-enabling the stock soft keys to see if it would bring back the menu button in Google Play (not sure why I thought it would, just effing around with it). Well, when I re-enabled the soft key bar in Fullscreen Toggle it didn't bring the soft keys back up, but I DID get my menu button in Google Play back along with other menu buttons in other apps! Weirdness..

Yes, several times. I'd forgotten that I also froze the system app 'Soft Key Bar'. I'm assuming that's why it didn't come back up. Not sure why enabling that in Fullscreen Toggle brought back the app menus though. Either way, it's doing what I want it to do now.
Thank god for this forum or I wouldn't be attempting any of this crap, lol.

Had this problem but found a setting
I had this problem in a rom I was using and tried all kinds of dpi settings without any luck getting the menu drop-down for the playstore settings. Then while I was in the interface settings of the rom control, there was a setting called "Statusbar Behavior" and that was turned off, and when turned on, the three dots that allow menu settings was available. This is late for this case, but I wanted to share so if others down the road had a similar problem and came across this thread as I did trying to resolve this kind of issue it would give another option to check. Hope this helps.
Hi - I might be being completely daft here...I got an HTC One today.
I can't seem to access the Facebook app settings to turn off notifications of new posts. I would expect to see the three little dots somewhere for the app settings, but all I have are actual Facebook settings. Nothing for the phone itself...am I missing something obvious?

EDIT : Got it. Changed the setting for the home button to be menu, not Google now. Thanks
OR, swipe right from the left edge to get the menu and then go down to the bottom - they're under 'App Settings'
