Launcher desktop shortcuts not working

I am running B&N 1.1 rooted with nooter 3.0. I have tried both ADWLauncher Pro and LauncherPro. When I try to put a shortcut on the desktop it never launches a shortcut screen. It just returns to the main screen. Is this a known problem? I searched and did not come up with anything.

Same thing for me!
I'm having the same problem on my NC. I'm on B&N 1.1, (autonootered on 1.01, then flashed with CWR to 1.1). I believe I've read somewhere that this is a problem with the basic Nook software. But don't quote me on that.

Its a known problem. What are you tying to do? Add a shortcut to one of your apps?

I go into the "Add" menu and select "Shortcuts" and it just goes back to the main screen.

Potential fix...
Now I cannot say for sure this works yet, as I am waiting for some clarification before I attempt it myself, but user samuelhalff has come up with a potential fix for LauncherPro's issues on the Nook Color. It was relayed to us by user huemedia, so make sure to thank them both if it works.
Refer to this link.
Update: Disregard. This did not work.

If using ADW Launcher. Try going into the App drawer. Long press an app then drag it to your main screen.

I'm using Zeam for that very reason... Shortcuts and widgets work great.

It requires adb and that usb debugging is enabled on the phone ?
a factory reset will also remove pattern lock, But lets not go down that route just yet. Ill keep scanning for the app and let you know :good:
EDIT: The app (ironically) is called Screen Lock Bypass https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thomascannon.screenlockbypass.fix

I guess there is an other option of unlocking with your backup pin

yes this app do work as you need to login to playstore and install the app from there.. the paid app works..
or if was rooted, then can do a nandroid backup and then do a factory reset and restore using Titanium backup

You can use samsung dive to unlock your phone

Can't see my own apps on Google Play

This might sound a bit strange but since I flashed Bulletproof kernel yesterday I can't seem to view my own apps or settings on Google Play, I've attached a screenshot, usually I would click the top right of Google play and i could see my apps but as you can see it only appears to give me the option to search, I've gone through the app and cannot see settings or my own apps, anyone know what's happening here?

Looks like youre on a custom ROM with menu buttons removed. You need to map the menu to another button (ones Ive seen are double tap the back button). When you open the menu you can get that info. You'll have to check with your ROM to see how to access the menu.

If I'm not mistaken that kernel removes the 3 dot menu and maps it to the HTC logo inbetween the back and the home physical buttons

Running Trickdroid ROM but I've just restored my nandroid backup and I can again see my apps in Google play and the menu buttons so it was in fact the kernel that done it.
I'll just stick to stock kernel

You could just flash faux kernel which alreadu uses the HTC logo as a menu anyway. You'll then be able to access it properly.

Samsung Keyboard Shortcuts gone.

I installed this app called "SamsungKeyboardShortDelay" from Xposed Installer, and when I rebooted the shortcuts on the Samsung Keyboard dissappeard. I have the At&t N3, rooted via Kingo. The only other app I have is Wanam Xposed. I removed the app and rebooted, and the shortcuts did not come back. I then went into application manager>Samsung Keyboard and cleared the data/cache, rebooted and no luck. I then as a last resort did a factory data reset and they still didn't come back. I don't know what else to do. Please help.

What shortcuts are you talking about

Im talking about the keyboard shortcuts, when you do a long press on a letter it gives you a shortcut to a symbol. View attachment 2561709It's supposed to look like the first picture, but instead it looks like the second.

I didn't have the shortcuts on my standard Samsung keyboard on my Note3. However I got them installing the XPOSED mod "Samsung Alt Symbols"
It works fine for my phone.

Thanks!! Seriously man, I've been trying to get them back for over a month now. That did the trick.

Man thx for this so happy to have them back.
