I have a 32gb touchpad 4g device. It has WEBOS on it and had android installed on it. Used batch files to uninstall the old android. I am using toolbox v42 to load the new android. I ran the win batch file and it loads everything to main menu. I select "Install Android" and noting happens. I select any of the other menu items, press home button and nothing happens. Instructions say it will take awhile but tried all night and still same screen. I have used this procedure hours before on a 32gb touchpad (non 4g) and all worked fine. I want to keep WEBOS on it because I have a lot of programs and games installed.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like your home button isn't working.
You can also use the touchscreen by swiping up or down to move the selection and swiping right to select.
do you see file explorer open so you can copy the files from your PC to the ttinstall directory?

The home button works in other programs, but I guess not in toolbox. However, swiping to the right did the trick. Thanks, exceptional program.

I updated my Tilt's ROM to the latest version, doing the reset trick to skip installing the AT&T bloatware just as I had done with the previous ROM version.
All seems well, except that my "OK" button no longer works like it used to. When I press it now, it minimizes/hides some applications instead of closing them out. Previously, it closed them (like tapping the "X" does). Is there a way to fix this without installing the AT&T software?
What's interesting is that it works correctly with some apps, but not with others. For example, if I have the camera or phone dialer up, pressing the OK button completely closes them. But if I have Pocket IE up, pressing OK only minimizes/hides it.
go into task manager. goto options, then make sure "press and hold X to close" is not selected. if it is, select the other one and it should work.
Thanks for the tip. I just checked, and "End programs by tapping 'X'" is selected (not "End programs by tapping and holding 'X'").
So theoretically, things should be working--but they're not. In addition to PIE not closing using the OK button, I just noticed that File Explorer doesn't, either.
I suppose you could try using Quickmenu (attached), this also has options regarding the "X to close" command. Give it a try if you want, I personally can't live without it
HButton all the way, I have my ok button set to <ok/close> if i tap it and <quit> if I hold it.

Thanks--I'll check that out.
I recently went from RC33 to ADP 1.5(JF), and everything went smoothly. However, when I installed AnyCut and went to 'edit existing shortcuts', there's nothing listed there. There's definitely shortcuts on home screen; some dragged from menu bar, some created with AnyCut's 'new shortcut' option. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, rebooting, hell I've even wiped again trying to get it to work and it doesn't! I'm going to send an email to Jeff Hamilton (creator of AnyCut) later and see what he thinks.
Also, AndTweet is a twitter client for Android. After installation it works fine for the time the phone is on. After rebooting, however, it goes into the options menu of AndTweet and hitting back brings me back to Home screen. Only uninstalling/reinstalling gets this to work, but only if the phone isn't restarted.
Both applications worked fine before the update. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance for any help!
Anyone else having this/these problem/s?
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?!
Ok I have htc 3d and hitting home allows to see recent and switch to home. I am also new top android. When you click home nothing happens unless you are out of application.

sprint galaxy tab 7 with 2.3.4

Works fine for me as it does on every other android device I have and have played with.. Hold home, the list of currently/recently running apps pops up, and also gives you the task manager button.. If that doesn't work for you on your Tab, you may have a config issue.
I gifted it out. Tried rooting phone and it messed up. reset phone and it is good. Thanks

Someone in asus transformer forum has ported floating notes and used it in their tablet from the xyboard
I tried to install but it doesn't work
this is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473298
Any ideas why?
Running EOS ics rom 1
Here's what ALMOST worked for me.
Download the .apk
Open Root Explorer ( in the market )
Browse to / sdcard/Download
Long press signedFloatingNotes.API
Select copy
Browse to /system/app
Click button on top that says mount r/w
Select paste at bottom of screen
Long press signedFloatingNotes.API
Select permissions
set to owner read+write,group read, orhers read
Select OK
Click signedFloatingNotes.API
Click install
Click OK
Click button at top that says mount r/o
Exit Root explorer
Go to app drawer
Select widgets at top
Browse to Floating Notes
Long press and dump it on your home screen
Read the directions that pop up.
Enjoy.
If you're not running ICS then the app drawer steps can be omitted and just long press on the home screen and goto widgets and select floating notes.
By the way. You need to be rooted to do it that way otherwise I'm not sure if you can change the permissions and you definately cant mount /system/app as r/w.
**Another edit. Installs fine, looks awesome, but force closes and won't work. Maybe a dev can figure it out. I'm unfortunately not one. Don't know about the likelihood of someone taking it on but I'll be watching this thread Sorry to get your hopes up.
It's unfortunate that it doesn't work, I was looking forward to using/seeing it in action. The Xoom needs the awesomeness that other tablets have. Thank you for the above steps, though!
edit* Don't know if it matters, but I found the xyboard system dump with the app, but still can't get it running on Xoom. I'm not versed in this type of stuff, so I don't know the tricks and whatnot. If anyone's interested I've uploaded the apk.
