edit: Here's a link I think you will find very useful.

Have been unable to get the calibration tool to work with this.
Currently, I am using a theme generated version which works great, but I need to calibrate it to better for how I type.
Using Calibrate FC on me.
I attempted to update the clicker.apk but it won't load.
Anyone run into this, have a fix.

If your rooted and nand unlock, use rootexplorer to move the clicker_hi.apk to /system/app/ make sure you set permissions and reboot your phone, the calibration tool should work.
Did something similar to that... I moved the clicker*.apk (there were two of them) files to and oldapp directory and then I was able to install the new one. No reboot was needed.
Now the keyboard is calibrated to my typing reach and is back to what it was like before the 2.2 update.

Sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to regain my old DINC 2.1 HTC_IME keyboard, without any success. Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6. Edit_01: Then, not sure what I did that was different, but I was able to update my HTC_IME keyboard with a "new" version that I created at the gimpsta.com site. So, my DINC (Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6) is working without issue.
Before I was successful in loading a new keyboard, and during my research using Root Explorer (RE), I saw that there were a couple of HTC_IME files in the system and cache directories, but RE said they were read only and would not allow me to move or delete them. Krelvinaz, what was your secret? I saw a clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk files under the phone data and system folders, even though the apps had been uninstalled in Astro Manager and no longer show(ed) in the Language and Keyboard or in the Applications/Manage Applications settings section. There was only one program called HME IME Test listed in Manage Apps during my troubleshooting searches.
At one time, I did try to load a current version of the clicker.apk, but I got an error message. Is there a clicker calibration utility, for the keyboard and how do I load it.

While I did stumble into a successful keyboard installation, I have spent yet more time to figure out how to change permissions in Root Explorer(RE). Not wanting to complicate a working HTC_IME, I tested my RE ability and changed the startup boot mp3 sound in the system directory. So far, so good. However, I am reluctant to delete the clicker.apk, at this time, hoping I might get some knowledgeable feedback about my question on whether there is a calibration utility, for this keyboard. I cannot remember if I actually ran the clicker.apk, way back when I got the phone. I was unable to install it today, because it already exists in the system, and I would need to remove it first. Still hopeful someone might expand on the keyboard and the clicker.apk.
Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:
(it should download adw launcher)
bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher
ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out
Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.
Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST
So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1
Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)
Recently flashed 1.0.5.1 and ran the x2 script. Everything runs fine. This ROM is absolutely the best one I have run on the e4gt. But...I'm missing the phone shortcut. It's not listed in the drawer, and there's no option to add a shortcut or widget to the launcher. I can place calls by opening my contacts or using the direct dial widget. Phone.apk is in /system/app (obviously). I had no errors during the flashing process.
Any ideas on how to solve this? Or to identify exactly what is causing the phone shortcut to be missing? I don't know of any way to reinstall just the phone portion. A reflash would probably solve it.
Mostly a noob.
Thanks!

Navigate to the APK and install it by selecting it. See if that helps.
try re installing the zip
only ever dealt with android products such as my tab pro, note 3/4. but just purchased and received my pumpkin kd-c0250 headunit.
had a quick look and seen someone recommend new/custom firmware.
Stock music player seems a bit **** too but integrates with the home screen which i tried with shuttle music player and that doesnt, unless its possible to add it as a wiget?
also im guessing a universal root for 4.4.4 should work to get me root access too?
just looking to see what others can recommend as a good starting point for making the headunit "better" all round. sorry if this gets posted once a day or anything

If you are new to Android, the first thing I would suggest is looking at replacing the Launcher. This will give you a lot more freedom
to add widgets for things like Shuttle and other apps you may want to try. I would also leave the ROM stock for as long as you can stand to do so. Take notes as you work with the stock ROM of the changes you would like to make, and search through the threads here to find if
you can make them without flashing to a custom ROM.
Rooting this unit is quite simple by using the temporary root method. Enter *#hct#root# as the password when opening System Settings.
DO NOT REBOOT. First go to the Play Store and Install the SUPERSU app by CHAINFIRE Once you have done that, let the system reboot,
and then go back to System Settings and enter the password adboff This will turn off the temporary factory SuperUser app, but you will still be able to use the CHAINFIRE SUPERSU app you installed to control root access of your apps.
I will say that if you want to jump in off the deep end, Malaysk has put together some awesome stuff.
I started with a DSA Rooted Stock Rom and installed APEX Launcher, mostly because it let me get started with a built in root,
and it also gave me 2 or 3 GBs to install other apps where the Stock ROM from the Factory only had a 1 GB partition.
Have Fun, and
Good Luck,
Rick
Sidenote:
the code *#hct#root# did not work with my KD-C0250, if it does for Harmonial i'de like to know
Installed one of the stock rooted Roms and entered the code and it worked. Dunno if it would have worked on the original rom.
There's as music app in the system/app folder. (Or is it /apk) at work and can't check.
That hash better layout for the library I like, but for the life of me I can't get it to open other than when it boots on startup with auto player from the likes of the headunit app.. Anyone got any idea on that front? Tried installing the apk and it does it successfully but no icon to open it, or even the option to open once done like with usual apks, just a "done" button

Oh ok, still on the original rom here, thanks for the info!
Still cant get my head around this music app thing.
the one that has an icon and is the only one i can open is the default "mtcmusic3" app.
the one that will start on boot with the headunit app is just called "music" and is in the system/app folder.
Info on the app when i check it out is "version 4.4.4-eng.meng.20150806.-211037". would really like to just run that as standard. but if i exit out of it at any point i can only seem to reopen it via booting the head unit again, no shortcut on the launcher to open it.
