start menu goes white and scrolls

hey,
if anyone could help me, i'd really appreciate it.
the start menu on my tilt turns white now because it scrolls way too far down (list is much longer than screen res allows for and has arrows on top and bottom for scrolling). the recently used programs list that shows up in the start menu reiterates itself 4 times and shows up vertically and horizontally regardless of what orientation the screen is in.
i could really use some help, so let me know what you guys think/know the problem is.
thanks in advance!

Power Button on Today Screen

Anyone know of a plugin or other program that places a power button right on the today screen or the bar at the top? I could not find anything on the site. I had something like this in a Palm version in a previous phone.
It would be nice to tap a power button as I finish tapping away at whatever application I am using at the time.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

A power button to shut down the phone? Or a power button to put the phone to sleep?

Here though no freeware ($2,99)

If you install Quick Menu (damn good app - try and find it on this site by searching a little bit) you'll also find the "reboot" link.
Dunno if it is interesting for ye but it really is a fundamental app I'd suggest everyone.

Have you looked at psShutXP? It can be placed on the today screen (task area) and gives you the options to turn off the screen, fully shutdown, soft reset, and hard reset the device. Grab it here for the Kaiser.
Just run the .cab, run the .exe, and in the windows that pops up select "Today Icon" for it to display on the Today screen.

Spb Pocket Plus will also enable you to do this. Of course it also has a ton of other, very substantial features. IMO, well worth the money.

Shut off device, not the radio.

[Q] Any way to lose the Nook apps main button?

During two 12 hour days of rooting and customizing two CNooks, I ran across a procedure for removing the stock Nook apps. Now I can't find it. I'm not sure if that included the main soft button, as well, but I'm giving one of these to my 75 year old Mom and I don't want her confused if she hits this button all the time.
Really appreciate any help here!!!

AFAIK there's no way to remove the nook shortcut menu in the status bar. So what is she using it for, never reading on it? If you removed the apps and she did launch the shortcuts I guess it'd just fail to load the app, as they seem to be static shortcuts to those apps.
I would think when we get a custom ROM the status bar will be at the developers digression, and maybe someone will figure out a way to update the framework jar to remove the shortcut. My wife likes the shortcut, as her NC is 50/50 reader/tablet.

I installed the Kindle app on the Home screen, which I prefer. The Nook eReader is still there in the app tray, but because I changed the screen res, it screws up some of the texts in the Store and what not. The reader is still fine, though. But with the larger icons and text, it is WAY better. I tricked it out with the Aquarium Live Wallpaper and added Dolphin browser, which supports pinch zoom. And an email client; WeatherBug Elite, a Battery widget, a clock widget, and a WiFi toggle widgit went on the Home screen, as well - and I'm using Zeam for a launcher. I removed all the icons except the app drawer - and also changed the Volume Down button to be a Back and the Up to be a Menu. No SoftKeys for me. BTW: I set the lcd res to 220 using LCDDensity - far better than the 250 someone mentioned on the forum. I still see the time and the notification balloon - albeit, a bit truncated, but it works. I run SetCPU, though not really sure I need to.
I use Quick Settings for Volume.
I'm missing a few things:
1) Love to find out how to do a screen capture.
2) Desperately want Flash.
3) Desperately want Bluetooth.
And, really want to noop the nook shortcut launcher soft key - or preferably the whole status bar. I don't need it, with all the widgets, but I'd be happy to have it as long as the shortcut launcher softkey was nullified.

I'm planning to get NC for my parents of the same age like your mom as well.
They would use it for email and web browsing while traveling.
I hope you will succeed and share

Cool - and of course I'll share! Fact is, it's not a deal-breaker by any means. I
'll just tell her to avoid hitting that menu button. And if she does, she just clicks on the screen or clicks the button again to get rid of it. I'm really more interested in Flash - which I'm sure will be in 2.2, whenever they release it for the CN - and BT. Which I really want for the new BT headphones I bought for my lost Archos 70.

post deleted. it repeated my last one.

Screen capture - hold down the large physical "n" button, and then very quickly press the volume down button. It will store the .png screenshot file in a directory called "Screenshots" in the system storage.
Now, if someone knows how to do video capture of the screen, please let us know.

Awesome... thanks for posting this. I previously download ShootMe unaware of this functionality.
I did it all from my Nookie...

[Q] single tap zoom - clicking on links driving me nuts!!!!

can anybody help me figure out how to turn off the zoom when clicking on a link, its extremely annoying especially when clicking in the text field it hides my text that I try to type... Ive searched everywhere but cant find anything... :-/

Not sure I understand problem.
What browser do you use? In Chrome it is double tap to zoom. I can't reproduce your problem on mine. I know there is an accessibility setting that triple tap to magnify is controlled by, when in use frames the window in a yellow box. Sorry could not help more.

When your screen window is small, it checks to see if you were clicking on the right link. You can avoid this by stretching out the window with two fingers, it creates a greater distance between tight links.

Is it the whole page zooming or is it like a smaller window that zooms in too? If that window is coming up then there are two links, text fields etc nearby to each other and the device can't tel which one you are trying to get to. Just touch the one you want in that zoomed window then.
