After some hassles, finally I have a rooted NST, and figured out how to add apps using adb wireless. All works well, but I have two minor problems:
The first is I have much difficulty scrolling through my apps. When I try to scroll, usually the screen blurs and stays with showing the same apps. Sometimes when this happens, a duplicate image of an app on the app page appears on the you tube page.
Why is scrolling through apps so difficult - sometimes it's ok but usually it is not? What is the best method for scrolling right or left on the app page?
The second problem is that of duplicates of apps on my you tube screen after trying to scroll - I'd like to delete them from this screen and leave a pristine you tube page, or at least replace a few with selected apps - right now I have several duplicates of the market app on this page. How to do this?
You have to flick faster to change launcher screens. Flicking slightly only scrolls the screen to the right or the left.
Hold down the app icon and then select remove, or drag to move it to other launcher screens.
tehriddler,
Thanks. I'll use these techniques to work faster with the Nook.
So my issue is that the lock screen constantly shows camera as if it is a background. It also won't let me add any lock screen widgets.
I did a hard reset, happened again. Took it in, they did a hard reset.happened again. They traded my phone and again happening.
The only thing I did was add my gmail accounts.no apps downloaded and no other settings messed with.
Anyone have this issue? Picture attached to see what it's doing.
Scroll to the right instead of the left. Camera is on a page on the lockscreen. Scrolling to the left will show you ability to add other widgets to the lockscreen

Hey guys
This is something new! Never seen it before! Anywhere!
After 4.4.2 update, my google chrome is having a problem.
I think the screen shot below is clear!
"Sooo, i cant upload pictures with my tab using chrome!!! This is another issue i guess!!!
The screen shot is a black screen, with a new tab icon only on top, whitch is not working, nothing else. Not a chrome logo in the midle, nothing"
It happens every time i run chrome, i have to end the app, (i have a commad for it in gmd gesture control)
Then remove it from recent apps then run it again to maks it work.
I unistalled all of its updates, cleared apps cash and data. Reinstalled updates, none helped.
In 4.2.2, when i opened the app, it used to show my favorites and i could open a new tab, or open my fav tabs.
Can anyone help?
Any suggestions?
Edit: figured it out.
I downloaded a bunch of apps last night that required screen overlay (draw over other apps) permission to operate. I uninstalled all of them, but now when I scroll horizontally on my home screen of Nova launcher, this white transparent overlay pops up on my screen except over the status bar. It’s most apparent when reaching the far edges with infinite scroll turned off, where I can hold it in place. I have a screenshot, but I can’t post it yet. It’s on the Lgv20 subreddit though. It also flashes intermittently when I swipe anywhere horizontally. Swiping vertically to open app drawer doesn’t seem to trigger it. It disappears when I’m not touching the screen.
I had Flynx, Amaze browser, Flyperlink, chromer, Link bubble brave (from apks), Trine browser, Hermit, and swipe for facebook downloaded. I’ve since removed them but it’s still there. I’ve tried restarting a few times and ran the smart cleaning. I’ve also tried redownloading the apps, clearing data, force stopping, then uninstalling, but no dice. I’ve gone to the Special access>Draw over other apps section and disabled all third party apps I’ve ever downloaded, and I’ve also restarted Nova a few times. This hasn’t accomplished anything, either.
Other screen overlay apps I have installed include Simple Pie, Status, Directchat Pro, Lastpass, Airdroid, and Screen Filter, but these haven’t caused problems before.
Help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. The flickering is driving me nuts!!

Go into safe mode and see if it still happens. If not, you missed something.

Thanks for the reply. The effect doesn’t occur on LG’s default launchers, even outside of safe mode. Or at least I couldn’t get it to trigger. This is why I suspect this might have something to do with Nova, but I wasn’t sure. I’ll try reinstalling instead of just restarting. I rebooted into safe mode, and the effect wasn’t present, but I couldn’t test Nova.
figured it out. sometime in the process of installing/uninstalling apps and fiddling with the settings of the apps (some of which added icons to the home screen which was locked), some of my nova settings were altered. One setting I saw was that infinity scroll was turned on even though it supposedly isn’t compatible with the nova google now companion. Probably why it was glitching a ton and caused chromer to crash repeatedly when opening links from there (unsure). Some animations were also changed for some reason. I reloaded a nova backup I had and all was well.
i'm mostly happy with this tablet, rooted with one of the great tutorials on this site (kingoroot then supersu), and I've added Google services/play store. I have a few small glitches though so I thought I'd set them down here and see if anyone else has them, and if there are any fixes. Mostly they are trivial, and some are just general questions.
(I bought the pro version of titanium backup so i could freeze some of the amazon processes (I don't really want any of them; i'll never use them so they're just going to waste battery; get in the way of nova launcher etc). I've been very careful with what I froze and "pm disable"d though.)
1) If i go to settings/storage and select internal or sd card it shows me the page briefly then goes back to the storage page.
2) When I click on settings/power/battery I don't get a graph of battery usage. Is this normal? Usually you can see how long ago you charged it, which apps have use battery etc.
3) There's no settings/accounts/google so how can I see which Google apps are syncing?
4) I had to sideload Netflix. Is this normal (for a rooted HD 10)?
5) I have 5 google accounts I've added to Google Photos (I have a lot of photos!). The initial "downloading photos" seems to take ages. Perhaps it's no slower than usual but it's not showing you the photos until they're all downloaded. Worse, this app quits by itself sometimes. It's the most unstable app I've used in the few days I've had this device.
6) The app Amazon for Tablets just quits when I try and run it. Does it require some of the background stuff I've disabled. It's not really worth enabling them for it, i'm just curious.
7) Can I somehow add a pattern unlock instead of pin/password?
8) Can I disable the lockscreen wallpaper? Where are they stored on the tablet - perhaps I can just delete them/replace with a single black jpeg.
9) Can I edit the swipe down notification options (which are currently wifi, airplane, blue shade, do not disturb, bluetooth, help, rotation, camera)?

Some apps have to be sideloaded because the app version is for cell phones only.
Amazon apps, Store and Kindle have not worked for me for awhile... Not sure what is going on.

Netflix isn't for cell phones only. It appears in the play store on my other phones and tablets.
I'm not too bothered about the Amazon stuff - I have a real kindle for reading books; this tablet is great for PDFs (which are hellish on a kindle). I'm not sure there are many apps on the amazon store which aren't on the playstore, and I guess I'll just have to live without the amazon app. The website is pretty good anyway. I suspect if I was bothered I could unroot and factory reset this device and start over and just add the play store and remove no amazon stuff, but that would be a lot worse than my current situation.

1) You debloated. It likely has something to do with Free Time and the files surrounding it's function. Unfortunately only way to fix without root, is a factory reset.
2) Download and install Activity Launcher. Tap top left panel, and then all activities. Scroll to settings, tap it, you'll see more battery options, unfortunately not detailed. Scroll down further for 'usage statistics ' for individual app usage stats.
3) Using activity launched again, still in settings, tap 'accounts'. Then tap the three dogs at the top right corner. Make sure 'auto sync' box is checked. You can't see the individual syncing options though. Also in activity launched > settings tap 'backup and reset.' Make sure the toggle to back up to Google cloud is selected. You cannot enter an email, that's for Amazon backup.
4) You can download a compatible Netflix apk from their website here.
5) Google Photos is give or take. Move pictures and whatever else you want to use, to Google Drive. That works better, especially if you keep Amazon Photos.
6) Debloating causes this across many apps. Amazon makes sure everything is connected. I don't use any Amazon apps so these are give or take as well.
7) No pattern yet. I'm working on it. I just need to figure out how to edit the SystemUI ap k and reinstall it. No luck yet.
8) Amazon Photos controls lock screen wallpaper. You can only change it through settings > display > wallpaper. That changes home and lock screen wallpapers. If you delete Amazon Photos, you lose the ability to change the lock screen. You cannot disable the lock screen wallpapers.
9) Amazon uses a different notification panel than the standard SystemUI interface. So far, with root, GravityBox changes only status bar icons, but not tiles. I have not yet figured out where Amazon tucks away their panel. Some is in SystemUI some in the framework.

Thanks for responding! It can be hard to get "the answer" to specific questions on this site sometimes!
1) I was very careful with what I altered, and as far as I know I only disabled stuff (I bought titanium pro and froze a few things that I couldn't disable even as root) so presumably I can unfreeze it. I suppose I could have poked around more without root but I was worried that I might get an amazon update I could no longer root, and that I couldn't replace the launcher with nova launcher. If this (inability to look at what items are taking up space in the sd card/internal) is the only symptom of "debloating" then it's a fair trade and I'll put up with it).
2+3) I will check out "activity launcher".
4) I didn't know about that! "Rooted or uncertified Android mobile devices are unable to download the Netflix app from the Play Store. Rooted or uncertified mobile devices are not blocked from accessing Netflix, but, depending on configuration, may not function properly." Might as well leave them up on the play store then, eh? Very odd. Still, solves my fears about sideloading tampered-with apps.
5) I use google photos on several other devices and the web. I upload stuff, move between albums, share. If I can do all of that on google drive then it might be worth whatever time it takes. I'll check it out!
6) This was one of the apps I couldn't disable until I bought titanium pro, so that's solved now. (I froze whispernet and other stuff that was taking up cpu/battery and the device didn't seem to get any more unstable).
7) It's not a big deal. I'd check out any fix you make (assuming I find out about it somehow - remember to post it in one of the forums on this site!)
8) I might temporarily enable google photos then, long enough to disable them. I'm not sure how many photos are cycled between on the lock screen, and whether they're downloaded or stored on the device. I couldn't find them when I had a quick look.
9) It's not a big deal, but i'm never going to use most of them.
Cheers!
Well, I unfroze everything (then refroze some apps like kindle, amazon for tablets (which still didn't work)) and some of the menu items have come back to life. I still can't set lockscreen wallpaper - the settings for wallpaper only affects the main screen. That's not big deal really - I don't want to fiddle with this thing forever. I can see that google and firefox are both set up to sync but clicking on them doesn't do anything. I don't get notifications on lichess, which is odd. I get notifications for youtube so it's not like the system is broken, and notifications aren't disabled on a per-app basis for lichess. The activity launcher lets me see the battery details like you said (although you can access activities directly with nova launcher so it's not required) - there's some text you can hardly read on those pages though because it's very dark text on a very dark background.
