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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!!

I have the latest Paranoid Android on my note7000. I enabled softkeys on the navbar because it gives me the recent apps button which I find far easier than long pressing the physical home button. However now I have two home buttons (a soft and a hard) as well as two back buttons. I was wondering if it was possible to reprogram one of the duplicates. The feature I was thinking would be great for one of these buttons are the toggles (GPS/WiFi/BT, etc). PA already gives me all the toggles I need from the notification bar, but what I don't like about it is that I need to tap twice. The first tap on the status bar brings up notifications and then the 2nd tap brings up the toggles. It would be nice to have this as a single tap. If one of the soft buttons could be programed to bring up wigitzoid or other toggling widget that would do it. Or if there is another equally fast way to bring up these toggles, please let me know. (I prefer not to have to go back to my homescreen to get to the toggles.). Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Since i switched to cm for kfhd7" (many thx @ hashcode!) i miss the hideable navigation bar like i've had on stock rom.
Does anybody knows a way to get this navigation bar working with cm10.1?
The search didn't get a result for me.
thx in advance
Do the following:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap System
3. Check the Expanded Desktop tickbox.
4. Press the Home button.
5. Now, when you hold the power button on the Kindle, in the menu where you shut down or reboot the Kindle there will be an option called Expanded Desktop, activate it.
6. Bye bye navbar!!
7. To reactivate the navbar, hold the power button down and deselect the Expanded Desktop option.
Now you can finally use all the available screen space goodness for apps. If you want to do away with the navbar completely, I'd recommend doing a search for LMT Launcher.
Thank you for the answer.
I think i should describe it a little bit more precise.
The expanded desktop option is no option for me because it's to circuitous to get the navigation bar back.
The best way for me was the way like it implemented in stock rom where i can display the navigation bar only with one slide.
Is there a solution to get this behavior back?
Yes, goto this thread and follow the instructions, if you get stuck let me know and I'll try to guide you.

Ok that's a beginning.
I don't really like the pies but it's better than the static navigation bar.
A pity that there it's seem to be no way to get the old behavior back.
Thank you!
Decided to look at the help on the gear manager app. Found two things I did not know about.
- Press and hold two fingers and you can see and go to recently used apps just like your android phone. Makes switching apps very easy!!
- Press and hold the side button to quickly get to outdoor mode or vibrate only.
Heck, maybe I'll even look at the user manual now...
Double tap the screen to get the volume and brightness control also.
Tap on the weather icon to get more weather details, too.
Thanks!
Hi guys!
My Mi3 is on MiUi 7.5 Global version!
All of a sudden home button and recent button have stopped doing there function!
The home button when pressed in any app doesn't land you to the home and the recent button doesn't show the recent items!
Both buttons are working fine! Long pressing Recent button opens the settings and submenu while long pressing home button opens Google Search! So the buttons are working fine!
Also, there is this other problem! No Notifications are shown in the notification bar! I can pull down but even if there is a notification, it won't show in the bar! I connect my phone through usb port, it doesn't show whether usb debugging is on, in which mode it is attached to the pc MTP or other! Similarly messages and other notifications nothing shows!
Plus, Lockscreen doesn't display any of the shortcuts, not even swipe up to unlock! or the swipe for camera!
All this all of a sudden!
Fixed it! By completely wiping my whole phone including the sdcard and then installed a fresh MiUi 8! Most probably, it was some data corruption which lead to failure of the functions of the two buttons!
