When you are in manage applications, there is no home?
i cant find the advanced launch under manage aplications?
Cyan doesn't include advanced laucher... you installed a theme for it. Flash the template and it will revert back to the original.
or adb install -r launcher.apk, or replace it with the other.
yes i realized its the original but i want the original 3 screens and 4 icons per row
You can try pushing the launcher from Dwang's ROM. No guarantee it will work though. I do not know which .xml's were edited for that, but it should work

Deleted Launcher

I accidentally Deleted my Launcher app using titanium backup. Is there anyway to reinstall the launcher? I really don't want to have to reflash the whole rom. I'm just using a rooted stock rom.
i suspect you just need to push the launcher.apk to the appropriate destination. search around for instructions on how to do it, and a copy of the file itself
you can download helix launcher from the market. great launcher I use it all the time. I prefer it to the stock launcher anyways.
You can also just reflash the rom your using again, it wont delete any apps or anything and it will relace the stock files.
you'll need to find the Launcher2.apk from the Rom you use. just extract the Rom and search the extracted folder: /system/app . once you find the apk file, you'll need to push it to /system/app on your phone via adb or the Su file manager (available in market)
I did the same thing...
I have a Milestone 3 (Brazilian Droid 3) and after installing a new home screen, i deleted the standard motoblur home screen (not without a backup of course). I didn't know that a factory reset don't reinstall the standard programs of Motoblur, so now i have a handset without launcher.
I can't access by ADB, due the factory reset deleted my predefined configurations and I can't access the market to download a launcher.
The only thing I have is the lock screen, the notification bar and a black screen below the bar. When i plug the USB i have the options to access the Motorola Phone Portal, USB, Windows Media Link and Charge only.
I tried to find the base rom to reinstall, but i couldn't find. Tried to find a shortcut to use by the keyboard, and got the same result.
I'll keep trying to find a way, and if anyone could help us i'll be glad.
Thanks
I would have hoped that the OP has managed to get his phone working after a year and a half.
Have you tried using the desktop android market to push a launcher to your phone?

Just got my NC and rooted have quick question

Ok I followed GabrialDestruir guide and it went off with out a hitch.. Much thanks.
My question is I have some apk files I want to install when I try to install them they say that install is blocked (how do I get around this)
and when I try and plug my NC via usb I done see the system folder to be albe to place them in the app directory
1. Uncheck the install non-market apps box in "nookcolor tools", recheck it, try again.
1a. Same as above, reboot.
or
2. Install Astro file manager from market. Goto menu/tools/apps manager in Astro.
or
3. Install Appinstaller from market, try that.
You should be more specific in your thread subject btw.
I tried to install my first apk with different file managers, but when I tried to install it with help of Root Explorer without remounting to rw, it installed my apk.
Now I can install my apk files directly from download list of my browser.
thanks guys... for some reason just had to uncheck it and recheck it and it works fine now
A couple suggestions if you haven't done so already. Download ADW launcher or Launcher Pro. And to switch between home screens to test which one is better get "Home Switcher" from market. (it will let you revert to B&N home screen easily)
And "Quick Boot" in the market does wonders for a quick restart instead of messing with that weird power button.

Install Go Launcher HD Without Root?

I just can't figure out the whole rooting thing. But I hate the KFHD's interface. Can I change it, if so, how?
Go to the Amazon App Store, download Easy Installer. Then go to Google and search for a Go Launcher HD .apk file of any version. Transfer that apk file to your storage on the tablet, load Easy Installer and install the launcher. Afterwards, go to your apps and initialize the launcher.

Didn't work for me....
That tells me nothing. WHAT didn't work for you?
I downloaded Easy Installer, got the apk and installed the package. After Go Launcher installs nothing happens. The option to "open" is geryed-out, my only choice is to click "done". After that, Go Launcher doesn't appear in my app list.
Then that launcher isn't compatible with Android 4.0, or at least with Amazon's OS. Apex, Nova, and ADW works fine.

I just wanted to confirm that this method creates an icon where I actually boot the launcher? I've considered the non-root methods to install an alternate launcher but it looks like they all are kind of a "soft" install where hitting the home button actually takes you back to the Amazon OS (requiring you to re-open the alt. launcher.)
You can set it inside the launchers. Nova, for example, allows you to change the function of the home button, when you press it, it asks what launcher is your main one, and when you select Nova, every time you hit the home it will return to Nova.
And yes, it does create an icon in your app drawer.
