Hello,
I've seen this question asked a few times in other threads, however no one has answered it specifically and I'm new so I can't post to those threads.
I have 2 Nabi2's that are both rooted and have gapps installed and are working fine. In order to install gapps, the pre-installed Wings application had to be removed. However, the icon still remains on the home screen in Nabi mode and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. When it is selected you just get a message about the application not being installed. Anyone know of a way to remove this?
Also, on one of the tablets for some reason the home screen icon for the gallery stopped working. I get the same message about the application not being installed. The gallery is, however, installed and works fine. I was able to put a new icon for the gallery on the home screen as a work around, however the inoperable one remains and I am unable to remove it. I'm assuming whatever process is needed to remove the Wings icon I can also use for this icon, I just have no clue what has to be done to remove it.
Thanks in advance for the help!

First of all, let me say, you all are awesome! Without you, my tablet would be so plain! I just got it this past week, and after watching videos and reading through your forums, I knew I had to try to root mine.
So, I have a question - and it may seem silly, but I've looked all through my tablet at settings and such, and I cannot find a way to fix this little problem.
I used Clockworks and I loaded Vegan version 7 as my OS. I love the Vegan, but in checking things out and personalizing it, I put some of the main icons on the bottom of my main screen. One of those main icons is the one that you touch to pull up a screen with all your apps on it. Well, somehow or another (I just can't figure out what happened) I managed to do something that caused the icon to malfunction. When you touch the app icon, instead of showing me a screen of all my apps, it shows a see-through blank screen.
I cannot figure out how to fix this so the icon will bring up a screen of my apps again. I figure the icon works as a shortcut to get to the directory of my apps, but I just cannot figure out how to fix it. I don't really know if it's something I did or if it is a glitch in the program.
Any thoughts?
Mon
Menu- Settings- Apllications- manage aplications - then unistall it and try reinstalling it.
Have you tried changing your launcher to something else? Maybe VT Launcher is fouled?

Thank you, but there is no launcher icon in those settings to uninstall and reinstall. I thought maybe deleting the icon that was on the screen and then reapplying the icon to the desktop would help, but it didn't - I still just get a blank screen with no program apps showing.
I appreciate you responding. I'm still stuck with the problem, if anybody else wants to give it a try.
Do you think maybe I should just reinstall the VEgan program? Will my apps still be there when I do that?

You've probably created a blank 'catalog'.
The App drawer allows you to create catalogs of different apps (so you can organize your app drawer, etc).
After opening your App Drawer, press menu and see if you don't have some options regarding catalogs.
First, I'd like to say a huge thanks to the developers on XDA for everything you've done for my wife's new Nook Tablet and my old HTC Hero CDMA that's now running ICS (you rock jaybob)! You guys are all awesome!
On to my problems...
First, rooted the wife's Nook Tablet, did the partial debloat (worked flawlessly Indirect, after I fixed a driver issue on my end...had to uninstall it and grab it to install the proper drivers before it installed the usb mass storage device driver, otherwise ADB wouldn't see it).
All the B&N stuff is there and using Go Launcher on the "android" side. Here's my first issue...some menus (Beautiful Widgets & Astro File Manager to name a few) and a few other random apps have white text on the menu making it essentially impossible to read what that option is. I played around a little with the Go Launcher settings, but can't find anything to darken the text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Second, wife doesn't like the stock android keyboard because each letter you press the preview of that character pops up right above it. I know it's a throwback to when you had small screens and it's just a confirmation of the letter your pressing, but she finds it very distracting (I don't even notice it! heh heh) Tried installing other keyboards but since there's no way to go to the stock android settings (only goes to nook settings), I can't enable the keyboards. I tried going to the nook hidden settings and selecting a new keyboard from there, but only the "android keyboard" shows up, not the other couple I tried installing.
Last, is there any way to bring up the stock android settings options?
Swore I'd never say this to keep like sounding like a noob instead of just a lurker, but I looked around the forums and didn't see any questions that addressed my "problems" ...so if there are answers to these somewhere, a link would be appreciated.
I have the feeling these are issues that can't be fixed until get access to the bootloader/recovery and get the ability to cook custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stock android settings menu doesn't exist. Try using the Hidden Settings app to get to the most common settings.
Ahh...that explains it...was looking in the wrong forum! lol I think I was searching my HTC Hero forum since that's where I default to. The keyboard fix worked. Gonna try the menu thing later after I finish reading all the posts.
This is driving me totally nuts I have been trying for ages to figure this out and can't get it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Totaly stock unrooted Android 2.3.5
My home screen had 4 icons at the bottom for quick launch.
Phone contacts messaging applications
Contacts is redundant since you can access that through the phone icon as well and I never use text messages so I swapped 2 of them for other apps so now the home screen is like this:
Phone Gmail Whatspp Applications
This is fine right up until I restart the phone
When it restarts all 4 are there until is "scans usb storage" at which point the gmail icon disappears
I have to manualy change my application tray from list back to grid view and then edit to put the icon back and then put it back in list view
The icon will then stay until the next restart
As I say this is driving me up the wall
Things I have tried:
Full factory reset and reconfigure the phone
Reboot of phone with tray in both list and grid mode
Clear data from twLauncher and set everything back up again
With and without external SD card installed in phone
No matter what I do as soon as I reboot that icon is gone and it always appears to be gmail.
And please I don't want people telling me to install a different launcher or to root the phone. I don't want it rooted and I tried the other launchers and don't like them
Dude - Sorry i dont have advice for you..but im sitting with something similiar..
Non-rooted phone..but when I reboot phone, the bottom icons (tray), get replaced by my last downloaded apps..for example, skype, flashlight and astro file manager...
After the phone has finished scanning they all return back to normal.
Im guessing this is some random bug, as I also tried clearing data from TWLAUNCHER and within time, after downloading some more apps, the same problem occurs.
Cheers

I decided to give my device a reboot like I tend to do every few days. I noticed a few apps updated right before, including a few xposed modules, but nothing new was installed aside from the updates of apps I already had. When I get to my lock screen I no long have the dash clock, camera, and weather widgets I used to have, and have the default clock. When I go to move the clock I can't and I get a toast notification saying "Unable to edit in security mode". I also cannot install anything new, nothing happens when I click install. I tried searching and people said stuff about encryption, but I never encrypted my phone. Any help would be nice, I hate the default lock screen and want my widgets back :laugh:!

you really need to provide more info....
For me, after the update there are several issues:
Home screen apps were removed.
I can't remove icons from home screen. Dragging works, but can't reach the trashcan on top of the screen... It works only when automatic screen rotation is on and the phone is used in "landscape". In other situations the top of the screen works fine, just can't remove icons from home screen.
Where's the option to arrange icons by Name? Is it been removed? Could'nt find it anywhere.
I refuse to believe that these are all my own problems

After the update?? The phone came with marshmallow already, you mean the incremental firmware? All the things you say are there. Try to re-flash the firmware. You don't need to wipe user data, Only if you want a clean installation.

Using a default launcher in pointless, when there are a lot good alternatives available, so select some and just use it.
