Hey guys,
A couple of questions. I have already fully rooted my Nook using z4root although I cannot find an update apk for astro. I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find one. Thanks in advanced.
Also, I am confused on how to enable multitouch if someone can clear that up too.
The Astro apk is attached
Go http://www.nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor for all your nooks rooting need, including how to enable multitouch.
Also, I am having trouble with launcher pro. I cannot change any of the dock applications. Any thoughts?
You can't change the dock icons in Launcher Pro, that's why I use Zeam instead.
The only thing with Zeam is that the "home" icon is not centered. But at least you can change the dock icons and add shortcuts and widgets to your screens.

You can move the home icon and change the order of the apps by long pressing on them.

Not meaning to hijack this thread but does anyone know where I could download Zeam that is not the android market? My market app is not working correct for now for some reason.

I've looked but can seem to find the answer.
(1) I know I can create new folders on my home screens and move icons into it, but don't know how to change the name from "Folder" to like "Multimedia". Is there a way to do it using ADW Launcher or CM6? If so, I havent found it...
(2) Is there a way to create multiple Drawers to hold stuff in ADW or are we stuck with the one launcher screen? Or is this in Launcher Pro, etc?
(3) Anybody know an easy way to create a widget for an application?
I'm just trying to clean up my home screens, which are getting crowded and don't want to move to 6 or 7 homescreens.
you just long press the holder bar at the top to change the name.
only launcher pro has multiple scrolling docks.
no idea how to create a widget.

Hi everyone, I've been playing with new Nexus S (my first android phone) for a few days now, and I can't decide on which homescreen launcher to use because each has features I like and lacks some that the others have. Maybe someone can find a remedy for me. I've made some notes about what I like or dislike about the following three launchers I've used.
ADWLauncher EX:
Separate catalogs on drawer
Lacks scrolling dock (hidden dock is less intuitive to me)
Best homescreen transitions
Go Launcher:
Gesture response for icons on dock
Tab to see running apps from app drawer that lets you kill or switch between tasks easily. However, the tab takes away space from the icons. Maybe there's another way to access something like this, a gesture for example? (image here)
Best edit function for screens: provides convenient way to move icons from one screen to another, lets reposition screens, delete
2 touch access to phone settings from menu button
Share access from menu button
Launcher Pro:
Missed calls/sms/email notification in the doc
I personally like Zeam..

The main reason I use LPP is because of he cal widget and being able to use custom dock images. Over ADW EX that is.
Launcher Pro Plus, by far.

I like Zeam. Light and fast!
Actually I'll further confuse you.

There's a way to get the "counts" in ADW with paid app "ADWNotifier".

I am guessing you mean LauncherPro? Compared to drag-and-drop of HelixLauncher dock config, LauncherPro dock IS hard to config.
Why is LauncherPro so popular here? I feel like its the most limited. No long-hold uninstall or edit from the homescreen like the others. I liked it the least out ADW, Go Launcher, and LauncherPro.

I think LPP was the first Launcher to have a drop-to-uninstall function.
Zeam. Minimalistic, light, fast, awesome.

I have tried them all and I always end up back with LauncherPro plus.

In terms of getting rid of all the mobile shortcuts and bugs, which is the best launcher for the Nook? ADW, Launcher PRo, or Zeam?
Using LauncherPro here
Is it free?
I'm a longtime user of ADW and Launcher Pro. I recently switched to Go Launcher and then settled on Zeam.
I find that anytime I use ADW or Launcher pro, I get inexplicable delays and force closes way too frequently to be acceptable.
Zeam and Go Launcher run light, not heavy on features, thus faster and more reliable. No issues with slow loading or force closes at all using Zeam.
Can you replace the phone icon on Zeam? I hate having that icon that I will never use even 1 pixel of my screen.

The little thing at the bottom is at your total control. You can just add apps right to that or like that app menu and remove as needed.
Included picture for better example.
+1 for Zeam
Can configure the dock and it has gesture controls too.
Yeah I'm using Zeam now and it's great. I love the look of it, and really like the gestures (I'm using swipe up to display notifications and swipe down to show applications).
Another Zeam-er here. Very simple and functional. I keep most of my icons on the tray and the screen is fairly clean with the exception of time/battery widgets and a fun Futurama quotes widget. I guess I'm not using it at its full potential but for my minimalistic needs it works.
If I install Zeam - can I still get to the Nook "Library", Shop, Web, Settings, Extras that are normally available to the Nook Launcher?
And... Can I remove Zeam and easily revert back to the Nook's standard Launcher if I want to?

Yes and Yes They are apps in the launcher and you can drag them down to your home screen to launch them

You can also install Home Switcher which would allow you to launch the 'default' NC Home screen.
I've gone through a few available launchers and found Zeam to be the best.
How do I add custom icons to the seam launcher? I ha e downloaded tgjz huge pack of icons and I used them with launcher pro, but it keeps foreclosing. Thanks. sorry if its in the wrong area, but q and a wont let me start a new topic cause the app closes

hmm i should try go launcher a lot people saying its great i havnt tried it yet but tried others like lp adw and zeam and so far ive been stuck in the middle of lp and adw
zeam doesn't let you customize the icons in the dock. For that, you have to use launcherpro, and I think GO launcher could also work (someone mentioned adw could work, but i haven't tried)
BUT if you want to change the icons on your homescreen and don't want to switch to launcherpro, then get Desktop Visualizer. Pretty easy to use, and you can choose the icon you want for any action! You can also try Any Cut, but I highly recommend desktop visualizer
Couldn't you use a program to change an app's icon (like BetterCut or Folder Organizer), then drop the new icon onto the dock bar?
I haven't tried this yet, but I'll give it a go and post the results...of course, is anyone out there has already tried/done this, please feel free to share.
I've been looking for a way to hide these buttons. Anyone know of a way to do that on the TB? Thanks.
D/L Launcher Pro, ADW or a similar launcher and chose a blank dock
Yeah you need a different launcher. One of my biggest grievances with Sense UI. I like it but not the fact you can't hide the bottom dock. LPP works really well though.
